Read the following case study and then discuss how a knowledge of cognitive neuroscience would help you as a professional in this situation.
A publishing company comes to visit your district saying that they have a new, brain-based learning curriculum that will help your students to learn by specifically targeting and stimulating the relevant areas of the brain. Their proprietary curriculum claims to be able to increase brain plasticity, hemispheric specialization, all while catering to multiple intelligences through the process of "conscious learning." Your district superintendent knows that you are currently getting your MET and comes to you asking for your opinion on their presentation. |
