Brain and Education Resources

Are studies of the brain relevant to educational practices? And educational experiences relevant to further advances in understanding of the brain? Are "brain-based education", "neuroscience and education", and "neuroeducation" simply fads, or the beginnings of new and useful understandings, relevant in the classroom and beyond? If the brain is indeed "the repository of all that it is to be, and to experience being, human" then we are in some sense all both users and investigators of the brain - and a bridge, properly built, between neuroscience/cognitive science and education is obviously of potential benefit to both. The materials here are intended to provide resources for the continuing development of such a bridge (an earlier version of this page has been archived here).

Suggestions for additions to these materials are welcome, and there is an on-line forum for continuing discussion of issues related to the brain and education.
