The Basics of Creating Brain-Compatible Classrooms is an important contribution and a key component of What Principals Need to Know About. Sousa is masterful at summarizing complex neuroscience research into concise, accessible concepts that administrators can use immediately. Principals will gain a greater understanding of what classrooms should look and feel like when teachers plan instruction based on how their students' diverse brains learn, remember, and create. This book suggests practical strategies for how instructional leaders can guide curriculum development, promote differentiated instruction, suggest classroom management strategies, and orchestrate professional development with a focus on educational neuroscience. Sousa says that master teachers can be 'brain-changers.' Veteran, as well as novice principals, may find their own brains changed after reading this practical overview of brain-compatible learning. -- Martha Kaufeldt Educational Consultant and Author, Scotts Valley, California
