Description

A powerful guide for applying brain research for more effective instruction

The Brain-Targeted Teaching Model for 21st-Century Schools serves as a bridge between research and practice by providing a cohesive, proven, and usable model of effective instruction. Compatible with other professional development programs, this model shows how to apply relevant research from educational and cognitive neuroscience to classroom settings through a pedagogical framework. The model’s six components are:

(1) Establish the emotional connection to learning
(2) Develop the physical learning environment
(3) Design the learning experience
(4) Teach for the mastery of content, skills, and concepts
(5) Teach for the extension and application of knowledge
(6) Evaluate learning

Mariale Hardiman presents this model with the educator in mind and offers practical steps for using it to inform instruction and teach 21st-century skills. Her valuable road map will help you achieve improved outcomes for your students and better collaborative professional practices in your school.

Key features

Educational practitioners will find that the work is easily tailored to any grade level or content area in K-12 education. The book will globally introduce the Brain-Targeted Teaching Model then focus on each of the targets. In addition to research, the content of each target will include (a) descriptions of best practices that can be used across grade/age levels, (b) examples of two learning units that will thread through the book, (c) "Voices of the expert" sections which include quotes from teachers in the form of "teacher talk", (d) pictures of the use of the target within the classroom, and (e) work samples from real lessons.

In addition to textual discussions of research for each brain target, the work will include a section on "teacher tips" from those who are using the model, activities, sample lessons, sample teaching tools, pictures of classroom instruction, and students' products.

Mariale M. Hardiman

Dr. Mariale M. Hardiman is Professor Emeritus at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. Her work has contributed to advancing the field of neuroeducation through various roles including professor, researcher, school principal, consultant, and author of books, book chapters, journal articles, and multi-media presentations. She founded the Neuro-Education Initiative and the Mind, Brain, and Teaching programs at the Johns Hopkins University School of Education. Through academic courses and professional development, her work connects research from the learning sciences with teaching and learning strategies for professionals in education and related fields. She has conducted pioneering research on the effects of arts integration on long-term retention of academic content. She also examined how knowledge of the learning sciences influences teaching practices and efficacy beliefs. Her National Science Foundation-funded research investigated teachers’ perception of creative thinking strategies and creativity assessments. Additionally, Hardiman’s administrative roles at the Johns Hopkins School of Education include Department Chair, Vice Dean of Academic Affairs, and two appointments as Interim Dean.

In her time as a school principal in Baltimore City, Hardiman developed a teaching framework, the Brain-Targeted Teaching® Model that promotes arts integration and creative problem-solving. Hardiman presents her work nationally and internationally on topics related to the intersection of research in the learning sciences with effective teaching, leading, and learning. Her research on arts integration has been featured in various popular news outlets including the New York Times, Forbes, Psychology Today, Pacific Standard and Southern Living.
