Apply neuroscience to leadership and become a gamechanger

An instructional leader who understands how people learn has the power to transform a school and raise student achievement. Brain pioneer Margaret Glick weaves the fields of cognitive science, educational leadership, and instruction into a cohesive framework for understanding the benefits of how the brain learns:

• Increased understanding of the learning process
• Improved communication
• Enhanced relationships
• Better interpersonal skills
• New tools for giving effective feedback
• An inner compass for continuous improvement

Included are brain illustrations, rubrics, implementation ideas for teachers, step-by-step pedagogy, and assessments.
