Engaging ‘Tweens and Teens

Brain-compatible Approach to Reaching Middle & H.S. Students

Raleigh Philp offers teachers and parents a helpful insight into the adolescent mind, applying brain research and common sense to deal with perplexing inconsistencies. Raleigh’s upbeat approach is welcomed by those of us living with teenagers. I will be promoting Raleigh’s T'ween and Teen book and celebrating his life during the first few minutes of my NCLB session today at the Learning Brain Expo. His buoyant spirit lives on.

NCLB Developmentally

Leave No Child Behind Using Developmental Activities

I can’t wait to present my session ‘Neural Basis of Common Learning Problems Along with Natural Solutions’ at the Learning Brain Expo tomorrow. The Body Brain Boogieman will join me, lol. We’ll lead people though a progressive series of movements designed to integrate primitive reflexes and strengthen the visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and vestibular sensory-motor systems involved with reading, writing, spelling, and math.

We will show how sensory-motor immaturity can result in learning challenges; then demonstrate natural (non-drug) solutions in the form of neurostimulation to remediate problems. This will be great fun!

Learning Brain Expo – Be sure to attend!

The Amazing Brain-Based Teaching and Learning Conference

The top neuroscientists and exemplary brain-based teachers assemble in Newport Beach California, January 16 to 18, 2009 at the Learning Brain Expo http://www.jensenlearning.com/learning.asp.

For ten years, Eric Jensen has provided the educational community a forum at which leading scientists and educators share current discoveries in brain research and their implications in the classroom. I am thrilled to be involved again this year and hope to see you there! It is most worthwhile!
