    1. The Brain Why your Brain really doesn’t like school!

    2. Triune Brain Made up of 3 parts- Reptilian, Mammalian (labeled here-limbic system), and Neo Cortex Each area has a separate process

    3. Neo-Cortex Largest part Responsible for all significant learning Helps support development of personality and social abilities in the Mammalian Intellectual capabilities developed here Reason and logic developed here Morals developed here (so you know the difference between right and wrong and will recognize consequences) Slowest part of the brain to react or change

    4. Mammalian Social part of the brain Defines your personality (shy, outgoing, funny, serious) Makes you joke, talk, network During adolescence it’s especially overactive and struggles with finding an identity

    5. Reptilian Amygdala is located here Fight or flight instincts are here Extreme emotions originate here When the Amygdala is triggered it affects all other parts of the brain All new learning goes through Amygdala first- if you’re brain is a club, the Amygdala is the bouncer

    6. Some key facts Memory occurs when brain cells communicate and form gels Your brain is programmed to forget Your Amygdala is a tough bouncer for your brain it won’t let anything stay and hang out unless its convinced its worthy 40% of humans are kinesthetic learners When you connect learning with many senses you increase your ability to remember When you force your brain to come in contact with information repeatedly you also increase your chances of memory

    7. To tell your teachers… How much do you learn in your classes if you are doing the following? Listening to lectures 5% Reading 10% Teacher demonstration/modeling 20% Discussion 50% Practice and applying 75% Students teach others 90%

    8. More on the Amygdala When you are afraid, angry, or anxious your Amygdala is automatically put on alert- it immediately takes over your entire brain At 14 your Amygdala is growing VERY rapidly In girls around that age the Amygdala causes extreme mood swings and wants to make social connections In boys around that age the Amygdala causes physical aggression Your neo cortex is not fully developed until your Amygdala is Girls neo cortex is fully developed around 20-22 Boys- 26-30 Your Amygdala is not used to running the whole brain however it’s experience is in keeping you safe What are some instances when we would not feel safe?

    9. Thoughts If your Amygdala takes over, what happens to reason and logic that are located in the neo cortex? How do we keep the Amygdala from taking over? What experience have you had with your Amygdala taking over? What mess did you have to clean up after?

    10. News Article Why doesn’t your brain like school? Disclaimer: all information in this powerpoint has been paraphrased and summarized from others researched- it is much more complex than we have time for, but I wanted to share with you the information as it affects you in EST. ?
