From the author ofNeuromyths,a revolutionary look at teaching and learning via the logical pathways of the brain.A review of the research on brain networks reveals, surprisingly, that there are just five basic pillars through which all learning takes place: Symbols, Patterns, Order, Categories, and Relationships. Dr. Tokuhama-Espinosa proposes that redesigning school curriculum around these five pillarswhether to augment or replace traditional subject categoriescould enable students to develop the transdisciplinary problem-solving skills that are often touted as the ultimate goal of education. Heralding a potential paradigm shift in education,Five Pillars of the Mindexplores how aligning instruction with the brain's natural design might just be the key to improving students' learning outcomes.
