Twelve Principles of Brain-Compatible Learning 1. Uniqueness-every single brain is totally unique. Impact of threat or high stress can alter and impair learning and even kill brain cells.
Emotions are critical to learning-they drive our attention, health, learning, meaning and memory.
Information is stored and retrieved through multiple memory and neural pathways 5. The brain is a complex and adaptive system-effective change involves the entire complex system. Patterns and programs drive our understanding-intelligence is the ability to elicit and to construct useful patterns. The brain develops better in concert with other brains-intelligence is valued in the context of the society in which we live. The brain develops with various stages of readiness.
