  1. The Art of Changing the Brain: Enriching teaching by studying the biology of learningJames E. Zull Stylus Arlington VA

  2. JAMES E. ZULLFROM BRAIN TO MINDUSING BRAIN RESEARCH TO GUIDE EDUCATIONAL CHANGE STYLUS(AMAZON.COM)

  3. Human brain changes during learning

  4. Change is neuron branchingLeads to new contacts

  5. Synapse change-increases and decreases

  6. Learning by losing-efficiency

  7. Intelligence and cortex change

  8. WHAT MAKES CHANGE? USE OR DISUSE EMOTION

  9. The Art—part IUSE WIDESPREAD AREAS OF CORTEX

  10. The three functions of cerebral cortex Sensing Integrating Action

  11. Two kinds of integration • Back brain: integrate information and data to produce complete pictures and facts, and store memories of images, faces, stories, etc—Red dots in green trees = apple orchard • Front brain: integrate back brain information (pictures, memories and facts) by holding them in short term memory in order to create ideas plans, hypotheticals, etc—Ladder under red dots in green trees = predict apple picking

  12. Flow of signaling in cortex

  13. Confirming the cycleThorpe, S.J. et al, Science, Toulouse,

  14. FOUR PILLARS OF LEARNING • EXPERIENCE-GET INFORMATION • REFLECT-MAKE MEANING • CREATE-PREDICT • ACT-TEST

  15. THE ART-PART II ASK “HOW ARE MY STUDENTS FEELING?”

  16. SCREENING FOR THE NEGATIVEafter LeDoux, Emotional Brain

  17. AMYGDALA-CORTEX CROSSTALK

  18. The joy of learning is as indispensible in study as breathing is in running.-- Simone Weil

  19. DOPAMINE PATHS-REWARD IN THE FRONT? (Nolte, J.)

  20. REWARD IN MOVEMENT

  21. THE ART-PART III USE EXISTING NEURONAL NETWORKS

  22. BUILDING ON PRIOR KNOWLEDGE (networks!!)

  23. NETWORKS COME FROM EXPERIENCE

  24. Knowledge is networksThe branching cell-reach for connections

  25. Network modelKurt Fischer (skills)

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