Use brain-based learning techniques for powerful staff development!

Brain-compatible learning promotes the brain′s natural capacity to learn, and more and more educators have been using this technique to help young students become successful learners. By combining adult education theory with brain-compatible learning, noted educator Laurie Materna offers practical, brain-friendly instructional approaches for working with adults in both informal and formal environments.

This user-friendly guide provides valuable background information about adult learning styles, memory, and how the brain learns. Engaging, interactive strategies for classrooms or workshops include graphic organizers, music energizers, exercise activities, and self-assessments, and each strategy is accompanied by a wide range of real-life examples.

Educators will be able to motivate adult learners to

Become more self-directed in their own learning
Improve their ability to recall, comprehend, and apply complex information
Unleash their creative potential as they explore a variety of learning modalities
Turn their education into a meaningful and rewarding experience

Ideal for staff developers, trainers, principals, teacher leaders, coaches, mentors, adult education instructors, adult learners, and consultants, Jump Start the Adult Learner provides everything staff developers need to successfully implement this dynamic and learner-centered approach in any adult learning environment.
