Week 5 DQ
Prior to completing the discussion, review chapters 11, 12, and 13 in your course textbook, Developmentally appropriate curriculum: Best practices in early childhood education (7th ed.). As you review this week, there are connections between neuroscience and education. As highlighted by Dr. Judy Willis in the article A Neurologist Makes the Case for Teaching Teachers About the Brain, Teachers who are prepared with knowledge of the workings of the brain will have the incentive and motivation to follow the ongoing research, as well as the ability to apply their findings to the classroom (Willis, 2015). With this knowledge, teachers can help children build their brain potential, bridge the achievement gap, and reach their highest 21st century potential starting now (Willis, 2015, para. 5). Neuroscience tells us that as educators, we have the capacity to help students change their brains and intelligence. That is a tremendous opportunity and one that we must not take lightly. How will you impact the brains and intelligence of those children in your care? That is the focus of this discussion this week.
To prepare for this discussion, review the article
by Dr. Judy Willis.
