Deanna Hurn: Importance of Brain-Based Learning

In this episode, Shellee and Deanna discuss: How brain-based learning can help your child learn mathLearning math through other areas of lifePutting together a village of support for your children Key Takeaways: Math can be learned more effectively with brain-based learning, which uses cognitive science to identify how each student learns best. Nothing beats the experience of learning math from experts who make you feel engaged and empowered.Students sometimes struggle with math, not because they lack the ability to grasp it, but because they are not willing to do the gymnastics of thinking. Engage them in other areas where they aren't always excelling, it strengthens their capacity to think, solve problems, and strive to be better.Make sure your children have a village of support around them; when they are supported, they feel more inclined to learn things and gain confidence. “If you don't tap into the student's full potential and keep them engaged, they can lose those games because they lose that interest and motivation to really maximize their potential.” —  Deanna Hurn    About Deanna Hurn: Deanna is an educational consultant, thought leader, credentialed teacher, and CEO and founder of the Miracle Math Coaching Brain-Based Learning Center in Fairfield, California.
