"There is still so much I am ruminating on and want to learn more about. This course was a delightful tray of appetizers that just stirred my appetite for more knowledge and deeper understanding. I have already bookmarked a variety of websites dealing with neural education and activities. Even though I have been teaching for close to 20 years, I am so thankful I found this course. It makes me hopeful that the 2nd half of my teaching career will be impactful, joyful, and meaningful for the students!"

"There is most likely a brain-based explanation for most student behavior. This course has reinforced the idea that all student behavior is a form of communication. My job as a teacher is to look beyond the negative behavior and figure out what might be the underlying cause and how the student’s brain is processing information. More than anything, this course has shown me how much I do not know about how the brain works and how psychology and cognitive science impact learning and teaching. I look forward to learning more about this in the future, through podcasts, TedX talks and future graduate coursework. This course has really opened my mind to a different way of thinking about student behavior and acquisition of knowledge."
