An Annotation by Bobbie Dunn

This book is an excellent resource on brain research and how it fits in with our students.  Though the book is 10 years old, each chapter provides helpful information on different categories.  There are chapters on how the brain develops, enriching the brain, motivation, stress, emotions, etc.  Each one provides information and ideas on how to help students according to how their brains are functioning.  Many helpful diagrams and pictures are also included, making it an easy read.
