About

Research on the brain has shown that emotion plays a key role in learning, but how can educators apply that research in their day-to-day interactions with students? What are some teaching strategies that take advantage of what we know about the brain?

Engage the Brain answers these questions with easy-to-understand explanations of the brain's emotion networks and how they affect learning, paired with specific suggestions for classroom strategies that can make a real difference in how and what students learn.

This is a wonderful document for explaining the brain research and neuroscience that informs the UDL Framework. It clearly explains the connection between the learning networks of the brain, the UDL guidelines, the role of learner variability, and the importance of defining goals during learning. This would be a great supplemental resource for practitioners who are interested in deepening their knowledge of the research behind the UDL Framework and Principles.
