Here are some great quotes about our brain and how we learn.

Susan Kovalik and Associates has a wealth of books for parents and educators on the topic of brain-friendly practices for school and home. Click here for a list of books she especially recommends for parents.There are several links of interest there besides books. The other half of her site is of particular use for educators; however, it has better book reviews and the ability to place orders online.

I learned about the Lifelong Guidelines and Lifeskills from Susan. She is an inspiration to many.
