Cautious, conservative skeptics will, by nature, be hesitant to embrace new things. Overzealous or impulsive risk-takers will, by nature, try almost anything, founded or not. Our position is neutrality. A better informed person usually makes better decisions. We collect the research, form conclusions, and make suggestions.
Every effort is made to select from reliable sources with supporting data.
If the studies are conflicting, we'll either say so or wait until we learn more to present them. You'll need to be the ultimate judge as to whether and how the research fits your particular learning environment. Critics of brain research have made some valid points. The claim, however, that there are no valid applications of brain research to classroom learning, is unfounded. This list is by no means exhaustive.
