Comprehensive teaching strategies (podcasts with text):

	Engaging the Brain Meaningful experiences in class that touch base with student patterning along with purposeful and stimulating homework improves prediction skills and facilitates the dendritic sprouting that enhances retention. Strategies 1-6->
	Assertive, Interactive, Engaged in Class Students want to be empowered as engaged agents in the classroom, validated as capable thinkers, and relevant amidst their peers. Gaining trust is crucial since it increases oxytocin production and motivates students to perform tasks.  Strategies 7-10->
	The Validated and Empowered Child Students become autonomous, articulate, and intellectually mature when they collectively govern themselves and pursue tasks as they see fit. This results in a process of social inquiry. Strategies 11-20->
	Online World Validating Teens While there is rapid neural activity when we engage with the Internet, attention circumvents the natural path of memory processing because of the minimal skill needed to navigate. Strategies 21-23->
	Movement and Play The cerebellum is not just a motor 'control panel' but also a switchboard connecting the reasoning and judgment features of the frontal cortex as well as the emotional midbrain areas and is consequently tied to learning. Strategies 24-28->
	Workshop In-Service The Workshop is an intense participatory in-service designed to elevate attentiveness and comprehension in the classroom. In a career encompassing urban and private venues, Methods that arouse the brain's reward circuitry to incentivize teachers and students, amplify recall, and foster inquiry and analysis are explored. slide presentation->

Dear Educator, 

This website contains the knowledge base and resources needed to create high performing classrooms. From a beginning fraught with discipline issues, I learned how to create productive and joyful classes that kept students attentive and driven to complete tasks. Twenty-eight podcasts and their corresponding texts are available. Inspired after being selected the Department of Education's President Scholar Teacher, I outline steps that validate and empower students as content area facilitators. 

I hope you experience the same career fulfillment I received by implementing brain-based techniques that affirm student strengths as thinkers and collaborators. They will come into your classroom with a bounce in their step, excited to learn whatever you have prepared for them. 
Best regards,  
Brian Pack

Very impressive work. Solidly based with research studies yet exceptionally well-written in an easy to read, conversational style, thoughtful, thought-provoking.
