Teachers and The Brain
After class, I was a little confused and honestly do not think that I retained all of the information that was presented on the brain. After speaking with a classmate, I think I have a better understanding, but am still trying to form my own views on the subject. However, this is something that I have thought about and come to my own conclusions about:
I don’t think that it is absolutely necessary for [all] teachers to know how the brain works formally because I think that sort of knowledge is best obtained through experience. This is especially true given the level of diversity found within each and every student. Having said that, I think teachers who “get it”, get it from their daily and constant interaction with their students. While they are teaching, they are simultaneously learning and forming their own understanding of the dynamics of the classroom and how their students fit into it.
