Brain friendly school libraries

"Brain Friendly School Libraries" provides practical examples of how to align school library programmes and instructional practice with the six key concepts of brain compatible learning: increasing input to the brain; increasing experiential data; multiple source feedback; reducing threat; involving students in learning decision making; and interdisciplinary unit planning.

It includes chapters that summarise current brain research and current thinking about its implication for instructional practice in the school library media centre, and also discusses the work of Ellen Langer (mindful learning), Geoffrey and Renette Caine, Bob Sylwester and other major proponents of teaching with the "brain in mind".
