Trainer and educator Jensen applies current research on how the brain works to the classroom, primarily to help teachers and other educators make decisions about both approach and content based on what the brain needs for its owner to learn. He starts with basic brain anatomy and function and follows with information on getting a student's brain ready for school, engaging students by following the needs of their brains and bodies with emotional support, providing physical environments that support brain function, managing the social functions of the brain, motivating brain function and critical thinking, using memory and recall as they were designed, taking full advantage of what the brain does before, during and after teaching, and creating schools that accommodate brain function as a top priority.
