Synapses and Neuroplasticity the brain's capacity to change and adapt in response to stimuli such as learning, experience, or injury neurons strengthen, weaken, or reorganize synaptic connections form new synapses eliminate excess or unused connections begin to form at birth formed and eliminated throughout life as we learn and experience new things
TEACHING THE LEARNING BRAIN
Basic Principles of Human Learning
Our brains are as unique as our faces. Our brains have different potentials for learning. Our brains are plastic (flexible, malleable, constantly changing ).
All learning is influenced by prior experience . Learning is affected by emotions . Learning requires memory and attention . Attention may be conscious or unconscious.

3 stages of brain-friendly teaching Readiness Construction Consolidation biological stages sequence must be followed
3 stages of brain-friendly teaching Readiness an internal state (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, cortisol at normal levels in the brain) student is calm, curious, excited or challenged but not stressed
3 stages of brain-friendly teaching Construction knowledge-building stage brain-friendly strategies - tap existing neural pathways - chunk-size lesson content - engage emotions and multiple senses
3 stages of brain-friendly teaching Consolidation error correction, meaning-making, knowledge retrieval students - recall, recast, apply new knowledge - integrate new knowledge with old - integrate personal thoughts or experiences with lesson content
