Brain Matters March 5 Inservice

  1. 1. Brain Matters: The Essential Guide to Brain- Based Learning © 2007 The Upside Down Organization Upside Down Organization March 5, 2015 In-service Leslie Jensen 2nd District Elementary Crawford Central School District
  2. 2. *Today’s Itinerary 1. Why the Brain? 2. Brain 101 3. Stress and Learning (Four BIG Ideas)
  3. 3. Because the brain is involved in EVERYTHING your students do! *Why Focus on the Brain?
  4. 4. 1. All learning is making a memory. 2. Through a biological process called long term potentiation, the brain converts short term (working) memory into long-term memory (learning). 3. There are conditions and strategies that help the memory-making process. 4. There are conditions and strategies that hurt the memory-making process. http://www.teachthought.com/learning/the-simple-things-i-do-to- promote-brain-based-learning-in-my-classroom/ * Why Learn About the Brain?
  5. 5. Every single time (without exception) that something is NOT working at your school, one of the brain’s basic premises or “rules” are being violated. For example…we should encode with moderate stress, and we retrieve better with low stress. Violate that rule and kids will learn less and underperform on tests. (High stress obstructs the learning process, more on that later!) * Why Learn About the Brain?
  6. 6. *The Atkinson-Shiffrin Model Long-term Memory Working or Short-term Memory Sensory Input Sensory Memory Attention Encoding Retrieval Maintenance Rehearsal
  7. 7. • Read the latest books • Given/received a pep talk • Attended conferences • Managed the discipline • Engaged in teambuilding • Monitored the curriculum • Built relationships *When You’ve Already Done the More Obvious Strategies… Turn to the match between what the brain research tells you and what you’re doing…
  8. 8. Research Studies (37,000+ scientists…) Organized by Topics (e.g… memory) Generate Principles (such as…emotions influence memory) Which Suggest Strategies (such as…drama, storytelling, etc.) *What is Brain-Based Teaching Based On?
  9. 9. *What is Brain-Based Teaching? It’s E-S-P! It’s the Purposeful Engagement of effective Strategies derived from Principles from neuroscience.
  10. 10. • Distress • Neurogenesis • Gene Expression • Emotional States All have a big impact brain development… * There’s More to Your Students Than What You Can Visibly See
  11. 11. *Nudge a Neighbor Time!
  12. 12. *What Does “Nudge a Neighbor” Mean? *2-4 in a group *Find people who look really, really SMART! *Discuss the topic (next slide) for 2 minutes!
  13. 13. *What Do You Think? What does global competition, rapidly increasing information and complex technology mean for the futures of students in your school or district?
  14. 14. *Why Learn Brain-Based Teaching? Because you’re really a mechanic…
  15. 15. *“Connect the Dots” *Primary focus today is learning about the biology of how the brain learns. *As we do that, try to “connect the dots” to the learning opportunities and challenges in your work.. *Look for “brain antagonistic” policies or practices.

  32. 32. Basic Brain Anatomy Cerebellum
  33. 33. 5. Mover & Shaker: CEREBELLUM Brain Anatomy 101

  37. 37. *Why Do the Frontal Lobes Take So Long to Develop? “It’s like learning to drive!”
  38. 38. * Today’s Itinerary 1. Why the Brain? 2. Brain 101 3.Stress and Learning (Four BIG Ideas)
  39. 39. *Four Big Brain Ideas 1. The Brain is Neutral. 2. Distress is the Enemy. 3. Attachment Rules. 4. The More You Learn, the More You Can Learn.
  40. 40. *Four Big Brain Ideas 1.The Brain is Neutral. 2. Distress is the Enemy. 3. Attachment Rules. 4. The More You Learn, the More You Can Learn.
  41. 41. *The Brain is Neutral (It Produces What You Put In It)
  42. 42. *The Brain is Neutral In childhood, the underdeveloped frontal lobes allow everything in — there is no “filter” separating good from bad. Adults must be this filter.
  43. 43. Kids “download” the negatives like chaos, disharmony, poor relationships, foul language, poor manners, and weak vocabulary just as quickly and just as automatically as they do positives or enrichment input. From ages 0-5 the world is “downloaded” into the brain. Highly immature frontal lobes are unable to delete or reframe any negative input.
  44. 44. *Four Big Brain Ideas 1. The Brain is Neutral. 2. Distress is the Enemy. 3. Attachment Rules. 4. The More You Learn, the More You Can Learn.
  45. 45. What is Stress? Stress is a physiological response to a perception of a lack of control over an aversive situation, person or event.
  46. 46. *What is Stress? While we often think of stress as psychological, our human stress system is made-up of a sequence of biological processes.
  47. 47. *Is All Stress Bad for Us? No. We need the stress response for survival and motivation. Only when stress reaches an unusually high threshold (Distress) is it bad for us.
  48. 48. The Stress Response On The Brain Hippocampus • Memory Center • Most Stress Hormone Receptors Amygdala • Center of Uncertainty • Emotional Regulation Frontal Lobes • Executive System • Planning, Judgment, Problem Solving, Impulse Control • Decreased Function • Less Communication Between Neurons • Lower Neurogenesis • Dead Neurons • More Anxiety • “Faster” Fear • More Excitatory Neurons • Depletion of Dopamine • Reorganizes Neuronal Connections • Poor Decision Making • “Fuzzy” Thinking
  49. 49. Alert! Stress Response Distress! Cortisol Cortisol Andrenaline 3 Stages of the Stress Response (Amygdala Driven) Amygdala compels you to: 1. Solve the problem causing stress. 2. Escape from the problem. 3. Cope with the problem. 4. Defend yourself the best you can. 5. At any cost, survive. DANGER!
  50. 50. Effects of Too Much Cortisol*Brain Damage *Poor Social Skills *Low Verbal Skills *Memory Impairment *Aggression *Impulsiveness *Anxiety *Dissociation
  51. 51. *Four Big Brain Ideas 1. The Brain is Neutral. 2. Distress is the Enemy. 3. Attachment Rules. 4. The More You Learn, the More You Can Learn.
  52. 52. *Healthy Attachment Attachment Road Stress Road
  53. 53. *Attachment Troubles Attachment Road Stress Road
  54. 54. Results of Chronic Stress •Emotional problems (Burgess et al., 1995) •Lowers IQ, reading scores (Delaney-Black, et al. 2002) •Memory Loss (Lupien, et al. 2001) •Shortens dendrites (Cook and Wellman, 2004), (Brown, et al. 2005) •Neuron death (De Bellis, et al., 2001) •Inappropriate attachments (Schore, A. 2002)
  55. 55. *Four Big Brain Ideas 1. The Brain is Neutral. 2. Distress is the Enemy. 3. Attachment Rules. 4. The More You Learn, the More You Can Learn.
  56. 56. *The Brain Learns When New Information Makes Sense *“Makes Sense” means the brain can connect the new information to something it already knows. *The more you know, the more you are capable of knowing. *The less you know, the more new information has nothing to connect to in the brain and learning is difficult or doesn’t occur at all.
  57. 57. Neurogenesis is known to positively regulate our learning, mood, memory and overall health. Neurogenesis
  58. 58. Neurogenesis Enhanced by: • Exercise • Complex Environments • New Learning • Nutrition • Low Stress Reduced by: • Distress • Inactivity • Boredom • Depression • Poor Nutrition
  59. 59. *20 Strategies How the Brain Learns Best! 1. Writing 11. Graphic Organizers 2. Story Telling 12. Drawing 3. Mnemonics 13. Humor 4. Visuals 14. Discussion 5. Movement 15. Games 6. Role Play 16. Project-Based Instruction 7. Visualization 17. Field Trips 8. Metaphor 18. Work Study 9. Reciprocal Teaching 19. Technology 10. Music 20.
