Learning with the Brain in Mind explores recent findings in neuroscience and combines them with learning theory in three crucial and interconnected ways: attention, emotions, and memory. McNeil explains how attention is the foundation for intellectual development as part of an essential survival strategy, how emotional relationships are the basis for brain growth and the acquisition of cognitive and social skills, and how memory has important influences on the sense of self and therefore on learning. The book provides:

• Evidence of the controversial impacts of diet, television, and mineral supplements on learning, both at school and at home
• Examples from three research studies offering insights into students′ attitudes to life and learning in school
• Practical strategies that help students to learn in more effective ways

Promoting new thinking about learning and innovative strategies that arise from our understanding of how the brain works, this book will be of interest to teachers, parents, and other educators who want to enhance children′s learning.

Frank McNeil was director of the National School Improvement Network at the Institute of education, and a former headteacher, principal inspector for an outer London LEA, and an Ofsted Registered inspector.

What kind of mindset is needed to thrive in a future being transformed by exponentially advancing technology and threats ranging from COVID-19 to climate change? Answer: The Entrepreneurial Mindset.

Many proclaim that STEM education is the best preparation for the 21st century economy. But STEM is not enough. To flourish in the future of work, the 8 domains of The Entrepreneurial Mindset are essential. And the best way for young people to build this mindset is through project-based entrepreneurship education.

The Entrepreneurial Mindset explores the intersection between the future of work and education. Readers will be inspired by real-life stories and in-depth research on how―and why―project-based entrepreneurship education changes the trajectories of students' lives. Young people, parents, educators, students, entrepreneurs, investors, business and public sector leaders, school board members and administrators, researchers, and everyone interested in preparing our next generation for the future of work will benefit from this book.

The Entrepreneurial Mindset draws upon learning methods and case studies from the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), a nonprofit based in New York City that has reached over 1 million students. All proceeds from the book go directly to NFTE to support its mission.

Moving beyond a prescribed path for success, Erasing the Finish Line highlights the essential skills to help each young person thrive in school and life

For years, we've been led to believe that great grades, high test scores, and college acceptance are key to a successful life. Yet our laser focus on these achievements leaves students feeling anxious, demoralized, and unprepared.

What if we've overlooked the critical skills young adults need to navigate an ever-changing world? What fundamental skills help young people adapt, persevere, and thrive?

Academic advisor and early career development expert Ana Homayoun answers these questions and more in her accessible and solutions-oriented guide to transforming future generations. In her ground-breaking new book, Erasing the Finish Line, Homayoun flips the way we think about education.

In this refreshing approach, Homayoun reveals new strategies to help each student develop their own blueprint for success, including how to:

• Develop a system based on executive functioning skills
• Build valuable social capital while fostering genuine connections
• Identify energy profile and how to recharge
• Expand perspective through immersive exposure
• Remain adaptable in the face of disappointments and setbacks

Through a powerful blend of theory, strategies and storytelling from former and current students, Homayoun's layered approach to revisioning education will bring sharp realization to parents, educators, and policy-makers alike.

How does a teacher meet the needs of all learners amid the realities of day-to-day teaching? Patti Drapeau shows us how in this practical book. She offers several strategies, including pacing instruction, varying the depth of content, widening or narrowing the breadth of topics, and altering the complexity of questions. She also shows teachers how to make them work, through tiered task cards, differentiated learning centers, and more.

As classroom teachers know firsthand, it is critical for K-12 students to be able to extend their learning. But expecting all students to attain the same performance via generalized instruction is unrealistic. Educators must honor and leverage students' unique learning strengths to support students and expand their possibilities for success.

In Neurodevelopmental Differentiation: Optimizing Brain Systems to Maximize Learning, authors Andrew Fuller and Lucy Fuller explain that by understanding the brain's eight information-processing systems-(1) spatial reasoning, (2) perceptual and motor skills, (3) concentration and memory, (4) planning and sequencing, (5) thinking and logic, (6) people smarts, (7) language and word smarts, and (8) number smarts-educators can help students apply their processing strengths to areas that challenge them using individualized learning plans. With this approach, learners' growth is limitless.

Readers will:

• Study the eight brain information-processing systems and understand how developing strengths in these areas increases academic success
• Discover how to identify students' learning strengths and blockages
• Learn how to develop individualized learning plans to fit the needs of all students
• Review templates for recording and tracking student progress
• Contemplate reflective questions on the eight brain areas to determine next steps in their classrooms

In the decades since it was first introduced, Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences (MI) theory has transformed how people think about learning the world over. Educators using the theory have achieved remarkable success in helping all students, including those who learn in nontraditional ways, to navigate school (and life outside it) with confidence and success. Within the context of classroom instruction, no author besides Gardner has done more to popularize MI theory than Thomas Armstrong, whose best seller Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom has become a bona fide education classic in its own right. This expanded fourth edition provides educators at all levels with everything they need to apply MI theory to curriculum development, lesson planning, assessment, special education, cognitive skills, career development, educational policy, and more. In addition to the many strategies, templates, and examples that have made Armstrong's book so enduringly popular, this edition is updated to examine how emerging neurodiversity research, trends toward greater instructional personalization, and rapidly evolving virtual learning tools have affected the use of MI theory to enhance student achievement. It also includes brand-new lesson plans aligned to nationwide standards and a revised list of resources for further study.
