We believe that 

learning events can be enjoyable and full of significant and

long-lasting learn- ing. We call this approach brain-friendly learning – it
is learning designed to be in harmony with the way in which our brains work.
.
Current scientific studies demonstrate that effective linking of the different systems of the
brain during the learning process improves the transfer of knowledge into long term memory.
Brain-friendly learning techniques are designed to maximise this advantage.
Brain-friendly learning and Brain-friendly publications offers a selection of materials and
seminars which will assist teacher organisations, schools, companies and individuals to
improve the effectiveness of their teaching/learning.
Welcome to the brain-friendly revolution!

Can we be better teachers/learners by getting more of the brain involved?

If so, how do we do it?




How does memory work?




What skills can be acquired to help us remember things?




How can we create an optimum mental and physical environment for learning?




What is the role of 'stress', 'music', 'age', 'self-esteem' in learning?




What are the practical applications of ideas about Learning Styles, Multiple
Intelligences, unconscious processing?

 helping people to form new long-term memories, habits and behaviors.

Learning something new is hard! It might feel easy to listen to someone or
read something yourself – but that’s not real learning. That won’t stick.

If you want to properly learn something, you have to put a lot more effort
into it and do something more active. Learning uses a lot of energy. Actively
participating in learning may feel harder at the time, but it makes you more
engaged and motivated, which is essential for learning. In our modern
quick-fix digital culture, we need to remember that when it comes to long-
term learning, energy and effort in = learning out.

It’s basic science. When we’re studying, our brain is trying to link neurons
together. So, if your content can link to what people already know, it has
something to hang on to. It’s a bit like warming your legs up before going
for a run – but instead, you’re helping get a particular part of the brain ready
for new information.

How might you do this?

Guessing has proven to be a really good way to create links. Evidence

shows that getting people to guess the answer, even if they get it wrong,
increases their ability to remember the correct answer, so long as they get
the correct answer shortly afterward.
