Neurologists are providing new outlooks on the education world. Opponents of Brain Compatible Learning often state that this is just another new fad or paradigm. Using strategies based on neurological research, can only help educators in understanding the changing demands that society has placed upon our students. Educators will continue to provide safe, optimal learning environments by providing the opportunity for intrinsic motivation as opposed to extrinsic motivation. Manipulation has no place in our schools, and extrinsic motivation only promotes negative learning outcomes.
Educators have great power and influence over their students.
Teaching students at an early age how to obtain self gratification will provide a tool to be used for a lifetime. Brain Compatible Learning is taking the latest research from neuroscientists and developing strategies for learning based upon those findings. Brain Compatible Learning is strategies to make the students more productive and the teacher less frustrated. Often educators strive for programs that fit the mold of every student. If it were that easy, educators would have the easiest profession.
