Beliefs
-
Understanding the application of the emerging biology
of learning is the keystone to meaningful, systemic
school/district change.
-
Powerful learning requires a "bodybrain partnership"
- an integrated process.
-
Both students and adults require a bodybrain-compatible
environment to work and learn most effectively.
-
Where students experience bodybrain-compatible
learning, their product-producing and problem-solving
capacities are greatly enhanced.
-
The perpetuation of American democracy is rooted
in the education of our young, equipping them to
take personal ownership and to solve problems
as responsible citizens.
-
To be effective, SK&A staff and Associates
must be models of the practices and attitudes they
advocate.
