SCIENCE
​
Dictionary.com defines neuroscience as the study of “the structure, development, function, chemistry, pharmacology and pathology of the nervous system.” Wikipedia also provides insight on the emerging field of “educational neuroscience,” which explores the interactions between biological processes and education, through fields such as developmental neuroscience and educational psychology.
​
But what does it mean to you? Can brain science help you become a more effective educator? We believe that a basic understanding of brain physiology and chemistry can facilitate your ability to develop each student to their full potential.

Dr. Nina F. Schor, noted pediatrician and neurologist, explains that experience and stimulation shape our brains by creating patterns of thinking. The unique way in which each of us solves problems, interprets information, and responds to the environment follows the neurological patterns established early in life...
HISTORY
​
On Tuesday, November 8, the American people will vote for our next President, yet the actual winner will be determined by the Electoral College. How did the American election process evolve?
​
Our first President, George Washington, elected in 1789, ran unopposed. His peers had to work hard to convince him to run, because he felt that honorable men did not seek office.

This first election wasn’t quite as “democratic” as we might imagine. Some statesmen feared that John Adams, who was running for Vice President, would receive as many votes as Washington, embarrassing everyone who had put the election process in place...
EDUCATION
​
“Today is the greatest school day I’ve ever had in my life,” said a 5th grader named Sam. He’d just built a house in his school gym.
​
In a national applied mathematics program called “If I Had a Hammer,” elementary and middle school students learn the essence of architectural design – fractions, angles, measurement and scaling – by using hammers and drills. After only two hours they’ve created a one-room wood-frame house that is large enough for the entire class to fit in.
​
The “Hammer” program is based on the premise that if children don’t gain math skills early on, their educational future will suffer. For example, the National Mathematics Advisory Panel advises: “Competence with fractions is considered foundational for learning algebra, for success with more advanced mathematics, and for competing successfully in the American Workforce.”...
