Brain Power


© Deborah Jeter

Thinking skills, processing information, understanding how we learn are some of the key factors in being a successful teacher. Successful teachers produce successful students.

These sites offer help and strategic information for developing our thinking skills, as well as for developing our students' "brain power." The links are divided into several categories. These categories are reflective steps needed for various learning styles and can be used for strengthening comprehension skills. An additional section on "de-stressing ourselves" is offered, because sometimes we take on too many things at once. This can cause a great deal of stress. Stress has been linked to many illnesses and in general, contributes to the breakdown of our immune system. De-stressing ourselves, day to day, will also contribute to our ability to learn.
