Using Brain Science To Make Training Stick

by Sharon L. Bowman, Bowperson Publishing (Editor)

If you teach or train for a living, you need to know as much as possible about how the brain learns. And you need to know that traditional methods of instruction were based on the economy of instruction (money, time, ease of delivery) and not on how the brain naturally, normally learns. With "Using Brain Science To Make Training Stick," you'll discover six learning principles that trump traditional teaching. You'll explore dozens of ways to apply these principles to any learning classroom, online, one on-one, small and large group instruction. Experience a fast-paced, interactive reading adventure that will make you an instructional expert as you apply the best of brain science to make your teaching and training stick!
