Teach the Way the Brain Learns discusses organizing learning
experiences under themes. Once the brain has stored basic concepts
in the curriculum, the storing-by-association system of the brain
attaches new information to those basic concepts, building new ones
as students have learning experiences that involve them in
integrated subject matter. Thematic teaching has been around for
quite a while, stemming from John Dewey and 'learning by doing.'
Teachers need to return to it in view of the effects of narrowed
curricula resulting from nationwide emphasis on testing and on
rating schools based on student achievement. This book provides
ways for teachers to link subjects and areas of learning for
various teaching situations and takes readers from simple
correlation through using published thematic units now available
and on to developing their own interdisciplinary themes or in team
efforts with other colleagues.
