  2. Four major functions of brain

  3. FOUR PILLARS OF LEARNING • GET INFORMATION (SENSORY) • MAKE MEANING (BACK INTEGRATIVE) • CREATE YOUR OWN IDEA (FRONT INTEGRATIVE) • ACT-TRY OUT IDEAS, SOLUTIONS (MOTOR) • ATTEND TO OUTCOMES (SENSE, GET NEW INFORMATION)

  4. FOUR PILLARS OF LEARNING • GET INFORMATION (SENSORY)

  5. FOUR PILLARS OF LEARNING • GET INFORMATION (SENSORY) • MAKE MEANING (BACK INTEGRATIVE)

  6. FOUR PILLARS OF LEARNING • GET INFORMATION (SENSORY) • MAKE MEANING (BACK INTEGRATIVE) • CREATE YOUR OWN IDEA (FRONT INTEGRATIVE)

  7. FOUR PILLARS OF LEARNING • GET INFORMATION (SENSORY) • MAKE MEANING (BACK INTEGRATIVE) • CREATE YOUR OWN IDEA (FRONT INTEGRATIVE) • ACT-TRY OUT IDEAS, SOLUTIONS (MOTOR)

  8. FOUR PILLARS OF LEARNING • GET INFORMATION (SENSORY) • MAKE MEANING (BACK INTEGRATIVE) • CREATE YOUR OWN IDEA (FRONT INTEGRATIVE) • ACT-TRY OUT IDEAS, SOLUTIONS (MOTOR) • ATTEND TO OUTCOMES (SENSE, GET NEW INFORMATION)

  9. Flow of signaling in cortex

  10. Brain’s language cycle

  11. THE ART-PART IUSE THE FOUR PILLARS-ALL OF THEM!

  12. EMOTION, BRAIN, LEARNING, MOTIVATION

  13. EMOTION, BRAIN, LEARNING, MOTIVATION The biochemistry of emotion (dopamine, serotonin, adrenalin, endorphins)is required for learning

  14. EMOTION, BRAIN, LEARNING, MOTIVATION The biochemistry of emotion (dopamine, serotonin, adrenalin, endorphins)is required for learning Brain evolved as an organ of emotion

  15. EMOTION, BRAIN, LEARNING, MOTIVATION The biochemistry of emotion (dopamine, serotonin, adrenalin, endorphins)is required for learning Brain evolved as an organ of emotion Understanding brain emotion systems helps us understand motivation

  16. AMYGDALA-CORTEX CROSSTALK- EMOTION TO INTEGRATION (AND VICE VERSA)

  17. FEAR-FROM THE PLUS TO THE MINUS ATTENTION ENERGY REMEMBER CLEARLY STRESS CAN’T THINK DAMAGE MEMORY

  18. DOPAMINE PATHS-REWARD IN THE FRONT

  19. THE ART-PART II ASK “HOW DOES THE STUDENT FEEL?” ENGAGE FRONT CORTEX- STUDENT SHOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP

  20. WHAT IS KNOWLEDGE? HOW DOES IT CHANGE? THE THIRD PRINCIPLE FOR CHANGING THE BRAIN

  21. Brain networks change

  22. Neuron firing generates branching

  23. Building on old networks

  24. THE ART- PART III Begin with student knowledge Build on what is useful Ignore what is not useful

  25. WHAT IS THE ART? 1. Use all four major functions of brain2. Ask “how do my students feel?”3. Work from existing networks of neurons4. Balance all these
