Superintendents Notes

The Twelve Principles of Brain-Based Education, Eric Jenson

1. All learning engages the entire physiology.2 The brain/mind is social.3. The search for meaning is innate.4. The search for meaning occurs through patterning.5. Emotions are critical to patterning.6. The brain/mind processes parts and wholes simultaniously.7. Learning involves both focused attention and peripheral perception.8. Learning is both conscious and unconscious.9. There are at least two approaches to memory (rote learning systemt, spatial/con textual/dynamic memory system).10. Learning is developmental.11. Complex learning is enhanced by challenge and inhibited by threat associated with helplessness and fatigue.
