1. The document discusses education policy, planning, and brain-based education. It defines education policy as principles and decisions that influence education systems and the laws governing them.
2. Educational planning involves preparing decisions for future action to achieve goals through optimal means. Types of planning include administrative, academic, co-curricular, instructional, and institutional.
3. Brain-based education emphasizes how the brain naturally learns based on what is known about brain structure and function at different developmental stages. It focuses on actively engaging learners using strategies informed by neuroscience principles.
2. “The illiterate of the 21st century will
not be those who cannot read and
write, but those who cannot learn,
unlearn, and relearn. ”
3. The philosopher Eric Hoffer once said,
“In times of profound change, the learners
inherit the earth, while the learned find
themselves beautifully equipped to deal
with a world that no longer exists.”

What is education policy?
Education policy consists of the principles and policy
decisions that influence the field of education, as well as
the collection of laws and rules that govern the operation
of education systems.
5. WHAT IS EDUCATION PLANNING?
“Planning is regarded as
the process of setting out in
advance a pattern of action
to bring about overall
national policies by the
closest possible articulation
of means and ends.” —
Philips
In the light of above definitions,
it can be highly stated that
planning is the process of
preparing a set of decisions for
action in the future and
directed towards realizing some
goals by the best possible means.

LEARNING REVOLUTION
the main element of new learning
revolution are two fold:-
a. Brain Compatible Education
Based on Brain Research
B. Power of instant Communication
through Information and
Communication Technology
.
10. Neuroscience has disclosed
important information about
the brain and how we learn. We
now know more about how the
human brain processes,
interprets and stores
information than ever.
11. .
Brain-based education
emphasizes how the brain learns
naturally and is based on what
we currently know about the
actual structure and function of
the human brain at varying
developmental stages

14. .
The growing brain: the human
brain can and does grow new
cells.
The social brain: how
interactions and social status
impacts stress levels.
The hormonal brain: hormones
can and do impact cognition.
15. The hungry brain: what to eat:
the role of nutrition in learning
and memory
The memorable brain: how our
memories are encoded and
retrieved
The chemical brain: which
chemicals do what & how to
activate the right ones
16. The attentional brain: prefrontal
cortex, what really drives attention
and ADD
The emotional brain: impact of
threats on hormones, memory, cells
and genes
The adaptive brain: the impact of
distress, cortisol & allostatic states
The patient brain: the role of time in
the learning process
17. The computational brain: the role of
feedback in forming neural networks
The artful brain: the role of arts and
music
The connected brain: how our brain is
body and body is brain
The developing brain: what to do and
when to do it; value of the first 3
years
18. General Implications
• It shifts the focus from the teaching
process to the learning process.
• The teacher becomes facilitator, guide,
coach, mentor and talent scout.
The role of the teacher changes but is not
eliminated.
• Orchestrated Immersion
The learning environments are created to
immerse students into a full learning
experience.
19. General Implications
• Relaxed Alertness
An effort should be made to
eliminate fear while maintaining a
highly challenging environment.
• Active Processing
The learner consolidates and
internalizes information by actively
processing it.
Reflection time becomes important.
21. General Implications
• The Brain is a Social Organ
Do something with the
information
Cooperative learning
Hands on learning
Active review
Peer Teaching
Peer interaction
22. General Implications
• The Brain Seeks Safety
Classroom environment
School culture
Relaxed environment
A sense of security
Predictable
Challenges
23. General Implications
• The Brain is Emotional
Pays attention to emotions naturally
Music activates brain waves and plays on emotion
Humor
Reflection
Role Play
Images in the brain
24. General Implications
• The Brain Seeks and Process Information
Makes it meaningful
Information in isolation is forgotten
Information that is interesting is retained
Connections to prior knowledge
Connections to real life
Choices
Reflection
Writing across the curriculum
25. The current explosion of new knowledge about the brain is
an invitation to examine our practices, commit ourselves
to drop what is ineffective, and embrace promising new
approaches that are brain compatible rather than brain
antagonist.
And since student mastery of the school curriculum
happens primarily with the brain. It stands to reason that
educators and stake holders should be experts on the
working of that amazing organ (Brain)
IN CONCLUSION
Many things point to the need for meaningful change in education. Change around the world is driven by exciting new research on how the brain works and how people learn. Learners must not only develop what they know, but also skills, attitudes, and values that will help them be capable people. For this to happen, they need to actively take part in their learning and be motivated by it.
