Grey Matters: Teaching the way the brain learns

Art engages

3/31/2017

Celebrate National Crayon Day by incorporating art into your lesson.

Arts engage students and aid in long term memory recall. Read about the research of Dr. Mariale Hardiman, developer of the Brain Targeted Teaching Model, on arts integrated lessons: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mbe.12053/abstract

Watch how three public school teachers integrate art into non-art subjects such as Math, Social Studies, and Vocabulary, in the documentary Grey Matters.

#BestSchoolDay

Today is the #BestSchoolDay project, where teachers fundraise for specific classroom projects. Too often, teachers are buying supplies for classroom projects from their own funds. It’s one thing to do a project with your 1 or 2 or 4 kids at home…it’s another to fund 25 or so kids, with overage for the inevitable mistakes.

Visit DonorsChoose.org and choose a project to fund. The project I chose was one that falls into Brain Target 2, The Physical Environment:
