Description
By popular demand, here is a resource book which brings a wealth of information and practical activities to teachers wishing to enjoy the benefits of the Brain-friendly revolution.
Estimates suggest that most of us only use between 4% and 10% of our available brain power!
What could we achieve if we used a bit more?
This book explains:
- How understanding of the brain workings has increased enormously in the last few years
- How the findings of neurologists have huge implications
- How more effective linking of the complex systems in the brain demonstrably achieves improved transfer to long-term memory.
- The book contains practical examples for the classroom that will have a dramatic effect on teaching methods and learning expectations in the next millennium.
It includes help, examples, and activities for using Mind Mapping, N.L.P., Suggestopedia, music, colour, learning styles and much more in your classroom.
Extracts from the foreword
Sir Christopher Ball is patron of the Campaign for Learning, Co-Chair (with Professor Susan Greenfield) of the 'Learning and the Brain' Royal Institution seminars 2000.
As a learner, I believe I can learn anything - provided the conditions are right! As a teacher, I believe I can teach anybody anything - with the same proviso ... Learning is a natural instinct, and teaching an art that can be mastered. This book is all about the conditions for successful teaching and learning. Read it, if you want to know what they are.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin ... Turn to page 2 (or any other page) and enjoy this remarkable book ... I wish I had been able to read Teaching for Success at the beginning rather than the end of my career. I expect he does too. But it's never too late to learn!

Frank McNeil - Institute of Education, University of LondonThis excellent book provides a practical workshop for any teacher who wants to consider new approaches to learning and teaching. The author is well known for promoting fresh approaches to teaching and his work is based on multiple forms of intelligence, brain-friendly teaching, suggestopedia language work, accelerated learning and neuro linguistic programming.
