Faculty Book Discussions Plan to Join Your Colleagues for Fall’s Faculty Book Discussions The Art of Changing the Brain
James E. Zull invites teachers in higher education to accompany him in his exploration of what scientists can tell us about the brain and to discover how this knowledge can influence the practice of teaching. The Art of Changing the Brain is based on the premise that biology can enrich our understanding of the “good practices that cognitive science and education research have given us.” Zull’s approach is grounded in the challenges of creating effective opportunities for deep and lasting learning, and of dealing with students as unique learners. Author James E. Zull is a professor of biology and director of the University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education at Case Western Reserve University.
“A necessary part of any collection of important literature on teaching and learning.” —Michael Theall,
“This is the best book I have read about the brain and learning. His perspective forms the foundation for a teaching approach that can dramatically improve human learning.” —David A. Kolb,
