Eric Jensen: a leading expert in the translation of brain research into education, argues in Enriching the Brain that we greatly underestimate students' achievement capacity. Drawing from a wide range of neuroscience research as well as related studies, Jensen reveals that the human brain is far more dynamic and malleable than we earlier believed. He offers us a powerful new understanding of how the brain can be 'enriched' across the board to maximise learning, memory, behaviour and overall function. The bottom line is that we have far more to do with how our children's brains turn out than we previously thought.
Enriching the Brain shows that lasting brain enrichment doesn't occur randomly through routine or ordinary learning. It requires specific and persistent experiences that amount to a 'formula' for maximising brain potential. Parents, teachers and policy-makers would do well to memorise this formula. In fact, the lifelong potential of all school age kids depends on whether or not we use it.
Offering inspiring and innovative practices for promoting enrichment in the home, the school, and the classroom, this book is a clarion call. All of us, from teachers to parents to policymakers must take their role as 'brain shapers' much more seriously and this book gives the tools with which to do it.
