Summary: It is imperative for educators to identify instructional practices that best align with the findings of scientific studies. To help ensure that the role of brain-compatible instruction becomes a foundation to educational practices, Dr. Pat Wolfe, author and world-renowned expert on brain-compatible learning, presents a compelling and practical approach to help educators grapple with the high volume of brain research inundating the field of education today. Visit classrooms where students with disabilities are benefiting from brain-compatible instructional strategies as an integral part of their day. Hear from staff who are effectively using brain compatible strategies such as Response to Intervention (RTI), and learn how to become educated consumers by differentiating the realities of brain research from its many modern myths. The video also presents ways for teachers to apply brain-based learning in the classroom and for schools to translate valid research into effective instruction.
