Interesting article about specific aspects of the brain and how brains work and why brain research should be considered when designing curriculum. This article and site also discusses various school designs that are innovative and take into account the brain and learning.

Solving problems by
looking at what's going righthttp://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTMC_85.htm
The Mindtools website offers a lot of information about
problem solving and in this particular article it discusses a different
approach to problem solving. Many times
in my own classroom when a lesson didn’t go well I often reflected and looked
at what went wrong. This approach from
Mindtools offers an idea of looking at what went right and building from
there. A very interesting way to look at
problem solving and I could use this information in my classroom as well. I could teach students how to problem solve
by looking at what went well on their assignments. This would allow students to look at their
grades in a positive light and then find ways to expand on what is going
well. A very different outlook to
grades.
