Fierce Teaching – 7 Factors That Matter Most

Teachers are constantly bombarded with “the next big thing.” But not every idea is a good one, nor is there an endless amount of time to implement every idea.

It’s time for you and your staff to know what really matters. When it comes to how the human brain learns and remembers in a school context, there are many things that are helpful. For example, we all know positive environments and passionate teachers can help. But in the brain, what needs to happen? What are the fewest variables that teachers need to do to get miraculous results every single day?

This 134-slide presentation makes a compelling case for what matters most. Perfect for new staff or experienced ones that have lost their way. NOTE: there is some content overlap between this presentation and Teaching with the Brain in Mind. NO need to purchase both.
