Read the highlighted sections of this report. Research is finding the connection between neuroscience and education that can benefit student learning. THis research suggests students with dyslexia who utilize their right brain tendencies (which suggests to me the creative side of the brain) can make improvements in comprehension. I would like to read more studies on this effect!

  A few of the students I have taught and now teach, have experienced traumatic brain injury. Watching this story reminded me of the stories they have shared or their parents have shared with me. It is amazing how a person can recover, what is recovered, and how it affects learning and attitude. This is what grounds me as a teacher. I don't know what trauma my students have endured before they met me, at the high school level. And how do I help them prepare for the future?
