John Breur, executive administrator of the James S. McDonnell Foundation:
…if brain-based education is true, then “the pyramids were built by aliens---
---to house Elvis”.

is “engagement of the strategies based on
principles derived from an understanding of the
brain.”~Eric Jensen

Experience changes neural connections.
There is no reading gene. The brain prefers novel
stimulus. The brain is hard-wired to
mimic and imitate.
![Page 10: John Breur, executive administrator of the James S. McDonnell Foundation: if brain-based education is true, then the pyramids were built by aliens---](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b8c7f8b9ab0599bf439/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Neurogenesis – the production of new neurons in the human brain
New neurons are highly correlated with memory, mood, and learning
Neuroplasticity – the ability of the brain to rewire and remap itself
Acute and chronic stress can have an effect on brain function.
![Page 11: John Breur, executive administrator of the James S. McDonnell Foundation: if brain-based education is true, then the pyramids were built by aliens---](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b8c7f8b9ab0599bf439/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
There are differences in the brain according to gender:
Boys and girls see print on a page differently.
Boys and girls hear differently.
![Page 12: John Breur, executive administrator of the James S. McDonnell Foundation: if brain-based education is true, then the pyramids were built by aliens---](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b8c7f8b9ab0599bf439/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Educators can make positive and significant changes in our brains in a short amount of time.
Teachers have to help neurons fire and then provide continued experiences so that these neurons wire together.

Reading is a complex, rule-based system that must be imposed on biological structures that were designed or evolved for other reasons. (Fisher, Frey, & Lapp, 2009)
![Page 15: John Breur, executive administrator of the James S. McDonnell Foundation: if brain-based education is true, then the pyramids were built by aliens---](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b8c7f8b9ab0599bf439/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a Harvard neuroscientist who suffered a major stroke at age 37 recounts her personal perspective regarding learning to read again.
![Page 16: John Breur, executive administrator of the James S. McDonnell Foundation: if brain-based education is true, then the pyramids were built by aliens---](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b8c7f8b9ab0599bf439/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
There are no areas of the brain that specialize in reading.
Reading is probably the most difficult task we ask the young brain to undertake.
![Page 17: John Breur, executive administrator of the James S. McDonnell Foundation: if brain-based education is true, then the pyramids were built by aliens---](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b8c7f8b9ab0599bf439/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Automaticity must be established.
The teaching of reading skills and strategies to students must be addressed across the content areas.
![Page 18: John Breur, executive administrator of the James S. McDonnell Foundation: if brain-based education is true, then the pyramids were built by aliens---](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b8c7f8b9ab0599bf439/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
During ReadingPassage Reading Procedures
Read – Pause – Question› Partner #1 reads. Partner #2 asks questions.
Students alternate as reader and listener. Read – Pause – Record
› Partners alternate reading. Both students record notes or entries on graphic organizer.
Read – Pause – Retell› Partner #1 reads and Partner #2 retells
content. Alternate.

The brain pays less attention to familiar information.
The midbrain, deep inside the cerebrum, responds better to novelty than the familiar.

Mirror neurons in our brains = imitative reciprocity
School experiences are highly social. Modeling for students is critical: this
might just be one of the most important and under-reported findings for educators this decade. (Fisher, Frey, & Lapp, 2009)
![Page 24: John Breur, executive administrator of the James S. McDonnell Foundation: if brain-based education is true, then the pyramids were built by aliens---](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b8c7f8b9ab0599bf439/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Every bit of evidence available suggests that the human brain is designed for a broad range of thinking patterns. So if the brain is capable of higher-order thinking, why do we see so little of it in the normal course of student discussion and performance? (Sousa, 2006)
![Page 25: John Breur, executive administrator of the James S. McDonnell Foundation: if brain-based education is true, then the pyramids were built by aliens---](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b8c7f8b9ab0599bf439/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Thinking is easier to describe than to define.
We do not teach the brain to think. We can, however, encourage students to use their innate thinking abilities to process learning at higher levels of complexity.
![Page 26: John Breur, executive administrator of the James S. McDonnell Foundation: if brain-based education is true, then the pyramids were built by aliens---](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b8c7f8b9ab0599bf439/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
We need to work harder at teaching students how to organize content in such a way that it facilitates and promotes higher-order thinking.
Modeling is critical as teachers are valuable role models.
![Page 27: John Breur, executive administrator of the James S. McDonnell Foundation: if brain-based education is true, then the pyramids were built by aliens---](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b8c7f8b9ab0599bf439/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Who was the second president of the United States?
What are the similarities and differences between the post-Civil War and post-Vietnam War periods?
Defend why we should or should not have capital punishment.
