Grey Matters: Teaching The Way The Brain Learns follows three public school teachers who use a teaching model to shape and guide their teaching practice. The model is based on research from neuroscience and cognitive psychology and adapted in a way that makes sense for educators. The film offers a unique opportunity to observe other teachers, in their classrooms, using an approach that works for their students. |
Justin Holbrook is a Grade 4 STEM teacher at Roland Park Elementary Middle School in urban Baltimore. "Our neighbourhood is very diverse and it's a challenge to meet every student where they are."
Jeremy Mettler teaches US History, Global Studies, and coaches girls Volleyball. His students are seniors - if they fail his class, they fail to graduate.
Vicky Krug's students are in her class because they failed to make the cut for credit-bearing college courses. Krug teaches developmental education at a local community college in rural Pennsylvania.
See how these teachers engage their students, helping them to grow and reach their academic potential.

Teacher reviews:
“We love this!” “Can we do another one?”
Who'd believe this is the response I receive when I tell my students it is time to learn vocabulary, but it is! After watching the Grey Matters Documentary and learning a brain targeted approach to teaching vocabulary I returned to my class and tried it immediately. My students loved it! They learned new words, asked to use it with all unfamiliar words, used the words in context and are remembering them over a month later! Highly engaged students, increased opportunities for dialogue, students retaining information and working on a district goal! What more could a teacher want?
