      Book Overview

      Eric Jensen--a leading expert in the translation of brain research into education, argues in Enriching the Brain that we greatly underestimate students' achievement capacity. Drawing from a wide range of neuroscience research as well as related studies, Jensen reveals that the human brain is far more dynamic and malleable than we earlier believed. He offers us a powerful new understanding of how the brain can be "enriched," across the board to maximize learning, memory, behavior and overall function. The bottom line is we have far more to do with how our children's brains turn out than we previously thought. Enriching the Brain shows that lasting brain enrichment doesn't occur randomly through routine or ordinary learning. It requires a specific, and persistent experiences that amount to a "formula" for maximizing brain potential. Parents, teachers and policy-makers would do well to memorize this formula. In fact, the lifelong potential of all school age kids depends on whether or not we use it. Offering an inspiring and innovative set of practices for promoting enrichment in the home, the school, and the classroom, this book is a clarion call. All of us, from teachers to parents to policymakers must take their role as 'brain shapers' much more seriously and this book gives the tools with which to do it.

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Jensen's theories of enrichment are based on research which he explains in jargon-free everyday language. The research confirms that the brain changes throughout the lifespan. The brain grows with positive experiences. Negative experiences, if they are not managed properly, stunt the brain's ability to grow. Jensen's definition of enrichment is that of a result: "a positive biological response to a contrasting environment,...

      An Educator's "Must-Read" Blockbuster !

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Wow.....what a masterpiece! I love this book as Jensen built on solid research what has been presented in the past with some awesome current "blow-you-away" research. The brain truly is amazing and he demonstrates and orchestrates the text beautifully in a language educators can understand. My opinion....Eric Jensen's best book yet!

      A Good Read!

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      The book's like eating a nutritious meal-- it's filling but also good for you. I liked the blending of science and practical advice. Loved all the new scientific breakthroughs on enrichment; Jensen's passionate about this topic and that's really what makes the book work. The book gives the real scientific basis for how our brain becomes "enriched." The last book this good was Marian Diamond's "Magic Trees of the Mind." Here...
