Unleashing Your Brain’s Potential The brain is different than other organs of the body. Many organs wear out with repeated and sustained use, however, the brain actually thrives on challenge. Use it or lose it is something that all brain researchers believe is very true. In this workshop we will look at 20 or more strategies that we can use to improve our brainpower. These are practical things that all teachers, support staff and administrators can use to exercise their brains. You can also pass on these ideas to your students and your own children. |
