Six Learning Principles that Trump Traditional Teaching. Sharon's newest book is hot off the press! Click here for the table of contents and a free excerpt. Or click here to order. Here's what an Amazon customer says about this practical book: "The very best teachers model what they teach or "practice what they preach". It's no wonder then, that Sharon Bowman is so incredibly effective. Focused on simplifying six key findings of current brain research and their implications to teaching, Sharon not only describes and illustrates these "6 Trumps" in her energetic, friendly manner, but engages the reader in practicing them. A self-guided student of brain research for the past five years, I have been fascinated by the potential impact that neuroscience can have on the field of education and training. Sharon Bowman's book has demystified this research and translated the critical do's and don'ts of effective instruction. Teachers concerned with common challenges such as, engaging students in learning, lack of instructional time, and making sure students "get it", can not afford NOT to respond to the advances brain research has provided the field of education. Sharon's book is a fantastic, practical resource that will inspire you and further your growth as an educator.
