moody. Careless. Impractical. vulnerable. Distracted. All these words are usually used to describe teenagers. But what if we turn these symptoms into a positive light? The teenager has creativity in insight, passion, idealism, sensitivity and abundance – all qualities that can make an important positive contribution to society.

In this idea-stimulating book, Thomas Armstrong sees a sympathy, strength-based perspective to see the power and promise of the teenage brain-and describes what the teachers of the middle and high school can do to create the maximum capacity of their students.

Current neuroscience research fully base, the book explains what the teen brain works and proposes eight essential instructional elements that will help students think, creating healthy options, regulate their feelings, handle social conflict, consolidate their identity, and learn enough about the world.

Armstrong provides practical strategy and examples of real -life from schools that depict these eight major practices in action. In addition, you will find a terminology of brain conditions, selection of brain -friendly text plans in material areas and a list of resources to support and expand the ideas and practices of the book.

There is a huge mismatched between how teenage brain millennia and inactive, rote have evolved on the Rott learning experiences that are very common in today’s testing-testing educational climate. See the school and beyond – see a lot of difference – when you use insight from this book to help students tap in the power of their changing brain.
