Brain Science:
The emerging understandings from recent developments in this field have radically changed our understandings of learning and memory.  Some of the recommended sources for more detail in this area include:
Carol Dweck, Ph.D.   
Eric Jensen, Ph.D.   
Jo Boaler, Ph.D.  ​

Discourse:
Our understandings are key to our success in any field... math is no exception.  Math is a social activity when understanding is the goal.  Immersion and discussion yield deep understanding and synthesis knowledge.  ​Some of the recommended sources for more detail in this area include:
Jo Boaler, Ph.D.    
Jay McTighe, Ph.D.    
Dan Meyers, Ph.D.    
​Robert Kaplinsky, M.Ed.
Humanity:
When humanity is denied or ignored, blockages to success are inevitable and detrimental.  This may be the most ignored blind spot in our educational practices today.  Humans ALL learn in the ways Humans learn... through engagement and exploration.  Some of the recommended sources for more detail in this area include:
​
Daniel Pink, J.D.     
​
Sir Ken Robinson, Ph.D.
