In ten central chapters on topics ranging from brain structure to classroom environments, the text traces the origins of common neuromyths--from categorizing individuals as \"right-brained\" or \"left-brained\" to prevailing beliefs about multitasking or the effects of video games--and corrects the record with the most current state of knowledge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than offering pat strategies, Tokuhama-Espinosa challenges teachers curious about the brain to become learning scientists, and supplies the tools needed to evaluate research and put it to use in the classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tracey Tokuhama-Espinosa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393713237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393713237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
