Brain Based Education : Implications for the classroom Lesson based on: Jensen, E. P. (2008). A Fresh Look at Brain Based Education. Retrieved 04 03, 2010, from Phi Delta Kappan: http://www.pdkintl.org/kappan/k_v89/k0802jen.htm

Human brain can grow neurons
Process regulated by everyday activities
Can be enhanced by exercise, low level of stress, good nutrition

Social conditions can influence brain
Become more active in managing social environment
Don’t rely on random groups…strengthen prosocial conditions
Groups offer reward, acceptance, pleasure, coherence, stress free

Brain can rewire & remap due to plasticity
Enhance through skill-building, reading, meditation, the arts, career and technical education, and thinking skills

Chronic stress is bad for the brain
Repeated stress results in a state of “allostasis”, an adjusted new baseline for stress
Stress affects health, learning and behavior

Genes can respond to environment
Everyday behaviors can influence gene expression

Good nutrition feeds the brain
What we eat affects memory, attention, stress and even intelligence

Arts may have role in brain based learning
Although jury is still out, arts may have developmentally sensitive period of the arts

Exercise is medicine for the brain
Exercise strongly correlated with increased brain mass, better cognition, mood regulation, and new cell production.

Strides in brain rehabilitation studies
Aggressive behavioral therapies, new drugs, and stem cell implantation can be used to influence, regulate, and repair brain-based disorders.

Environments alter our brain
Increasing neuroscience research to understand human responses to the built environment.
