UDL Principles and Brain Process• UDL principles help educators customize their
teaching for individual differences in each of these three brain networks. A universally-designed curriculum offers students to learn in atmosphere of choice
• Recent research in neuroscience shows that each brain processes information differently. The way we learn is as individual as DNA or fingerprints.
• Research has identified three primary brain networks and the roles they play in learning.
MindfulnessNo Longer a nice thought to useReflection is no longer a luxury but necessary for
our survivalBecoming more and more mainstreamedWarming up for a sport, music, etc. Why not to
learn???Dan Siegel’s movie and worksheet
After Lunch
Animal School Thoughts Have you done this? Have you been asked to do this? How can we prevent this from happening? Be a “Rebel” – you and your classes first –
then others

Definition of Mindfulness (movies)
Definition:•Mindfulness refers to being completely in touch with and aware of the present moment, as well as taking a non-evaluative and non-judgmental approach to your inner experience. For example, a mindful approach to one's inner experience is simply viewing "thoughts as thoughts" as opposed to evaluating certain thoughts as positive or negative.•The term comes from Eastern spiritual and religious traditions like Zen Buddhism. However, mental health professionals are beginning to recognize that mindfulness can have many benefits for people suffering from difficulties such as anxiety and depression.
Mindfulness
• Builds social and emotional intelligence• Builds stronger minds and retention• By training the focus through more mindfulness practices
the mind can be strengthened and create more empathy and compassion within relationships
• strengthening and the training of the mind has and is being studied and has shown that children experience enhanced attention and have better ability to handle stress.

the classroom• How does it work and what can I do to implement
it when I don’t have enough time to teach the curriculum????
• Studies show that teenagers that understand their brain functions and have an easier time transitioning into adulthood
Mind Up – Activity 2
• Chapters – giving them to you• With your group explain the research • With your group do an activity
– You can make one up that would go well in this section
• Be creative• Presentations – 5 to 7 minutes
Optimism – Chapter 10

– Can train the brain
• Brain forms new branching-off dendrites and more neuron to neuron connections during repeated experiences and practices – Self-talk, positive thinking, strengthens nerve cells
