Product Description
Product Description
"The Thinking Child" describes in depth the most up-to-date research that lies behind brain-based learning theory and gives practical advice to help practitioners from any type of setting to put the theory into practice. It addresses many issues of interest to practitioners, such as how to maximize learning through play, how to define "intelligence", the current thinking about why some children develop disorders such as ADHD, and how to help children develop emotional intelligence.
From the Inside Flap
The practical brain-based techniques described in this book include:
• Introducing children to mind mapping
• How to use music to maximise learning
• Teaching and learning through movement
• Fostering the beginnings of group work
• Managing behaviour positively
• Helping children to develop good attention skills
• Talking the language of learning
• Addressing children’s physical needs
• Teaching through VAK – visual, auditory and kinaesthetic – means
• Engaging the multiple intelligences
Alongside theory, the book gives clear and practical guidance for busy practitioners who want suggestions of ways to implement brain-based techniques. Numerous practical ideas are given to suggest where to start, whilst Mini-Brainy characters illustrate key points throughout the text. Additionally a number of informative, and often amusing, snippets of information about the brain and learning are given in boxes called Fascinating Facts. Examples from a wide variety of settings give an overview of how brain-based techniques can be used to enrich the learning experience of all young children – which is described in the book as a learning adventure. The experience of practitioners using The Thinking Child will be as exciting as that of the children, as they embark upon this brain-based learning adventure together.
