"If you wanted to create an education environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you probably would design something like a classroom. And if you wanted to change things, you might have to tear it down and start over."
- John Medina
John Medina, a developmental molecular biologist, has a lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children. In his bestselling book, Brain Rules, he describes 12 rules--what scientists know for sure about how our brains work--and then offers powerful ideas that could transform the way our schools help children learn. The book has generated a great deal of buzz in the education world and has won praise around the globe.
Now, you have the opportunity to spend a day with Dr. Medina as he takes what you learned in the book to the next level.
