Eric Jensen—a leading expert in the translation of brain research into education, argues in Enriching the Brain that we greatly underestimate students’ achievement capacity. Drawing from a wide range of neuroscience research as well as related studies, Jensen reveals that the human brain is far more dynamic and malleable than we earlier believed. He offers us a powerful new understanding of how the brain can be “enriched,” across the board to maximize learning, memory, behavior and overall function. The bottom line is we have far more to do with how our children’s brains turn out than we previously thought. Enriching the Brain shows that lasting brain enrichment doesn’t occur randomly through routine or ordinary learning. It requires a specific, and persistent experiences that amount to a “formula” for maximizing brain potential. Parents, teachers and policy–makers would do well to memorize this formula. In fact, the lifelong potential of all school age kids depends on whether or not we use it. Offering an inspiring and innovative set of practices for promoting enrichment in the home, the school, and the classroom, this book is a clarion call. All of us, from teachers to parents to policymakers must take their role as ‘brain shapers’ much more seriously and this book gives the tools with which to do it.

Review
"Enriching the Brain effectively reveals the limitations of the traditional ‘fixed brain theory’ and offers a vivid picture of the human brain as a dynamic and changing organ. It convincingly demonstrates how an enriching environment brain functioning and enhances intelligent for all learners."—Robert Kuklis, professional development associate, Center for Performance Assessment; adjunct professor, Sacred Heart University
"This book fills an incredible need. It is time for educators to become familiar with the latest research on learning and the positive message that the neurosciences have for all of us."—Renate Nummela Caine, Ph.D., professor emeritus of education, California State Univeristy, San Bernadino; executive director, The Caine Learning Institute
"Teaching, administrators, school boards, parents, and any others interested in knowing how to maximize learning potential will be rewarded when they read this book, as it offers the whole package, from theory to research to application." — Education Review, August 2006
