A readable introduction, Aug 18 2001
By John Rice - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Introduction to Brain-Compatible Learning (Paperback)
Eric Jensen has been teaching and writing in the area of brain compatible learning for some time now. He has a series of books that go into great detail concerning the implications of brain reseach for educators. This small volume is an appetizer of what is to come. The book presents a quick review of brain research and the anatomy of the brain. Then Jensen develops 12 principles to apply to educators. Jensen refers this as the new paradigm of education. Some of what he writes is not new, but finally can be proved scientifically. The book is what it is a good introduction to the implications for educators of what brain research has been doing. As Jensen notes, much of brain research is very esoteric and not practical for educators. The book skims over ideas that are dealt with in greater detail in other books and Jensen's workshops. However, this book serves to be a good starting place for educators who sense that something is missing in the methodologies that exist today.

Brain-Compatible Learning, Aug 2 2005
By Grad Cat "Kris" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Introduction to Brain-Compatible Learning (Paperback)
I just finished reading Eric Jensen's "Introduction to Brain-Compatible Learning." It is such a easy read and couldn't put it down for a moment. I am a fourth grade teacher and I wished that I had read this as an undergraduate. I feel that every teacher or those pursuing education as a career should read this book.
