This book is designed to help teachers take the mystique out of the CCSS and to be able to apply some immediate brain-compatible strategies in their classrooms. It provides some “soft answers” for school administrator to help teachers to be successful as they implement the changes that are required by the CCSS. The new standards are awash with terms that indicate that this initiative is more about deeper learning and thinking and how students can apply what they learn in school to their out-of-school experiences. Findings from neuroscience support this new direction and will be discussed throughout the book. INDICE: Preface1.
