We should be paying attention to this kind of information instead of teaching to the MAP test:
Dear Edutopia Friend,
Improving education takes more than dedicated individuals (though we need them too!). It takes a movement of educators, parents, and innovators coming together to share new ideas. That’s why I encourage you to download our Classroom Resource Guide on brain-based learning.
I hope you’ll find the Guide useful and that it will spark your own creativity. Just by downloading the Guide, you’re working as part of the movement to improve education. Here are three ways you can stay connected and spread the word.
- Share the knowledge! Do you know other educators, parents, or administrators who could benefit from this Guide? Tell them how they can access this classroom-tested and practical Guide through Facebook or Twitter. Alternately, you can just send this link, edutopia.org/brain-based-learning-strategies-resource-guide, in an email, or you can print the guide and leave a copy of it in the teachers lounge or in your favorite educator’s mailbox.
- Stay in touch. Our free weekly e-newsletter contains tips, news, and groundbreaking content and the latest innovations and constantly updated educator resources. Sign up today.
- Learn more. If you enjoyed the Guide, please take a moment to browse through our other free Classroom Resource Guides.
Sincerely,
Cindy Johanson
