When a Neurologist becomes a classroom teacher, Brain Learning Reseach promotes teaching strategies.
This website will feature the insights, publications, and presentation schedules pertaining to parent and teacher strategies to ignite student learning.
Dr. Judy Willis, a board-certified neurologist and middle school teacher in Santa Barbara, California, has combined her 15 years as a practicing adult and child neurologist with her teacher education training and years of classroom experience. She is an authority in the field of learning-centered brain research and classroom strategies derived from this research.
Her articles about the neurology of learning have been published in her books and numerous educational journals. Dr. Willis is a speaker at national and international professional educator conferences.
This website is named for Dr. Willis' emphasis on teaching practices that engage the heart and mind to challenge all students to their highest potentials. The letters represent parts of the neural system particularly active in learning and memory:
Reticular activating system,
Amygdala and
Dopamine
