Drew Weston, 2025

Teaching with the Brain in Mind: Unlocking Cognitive Potential in the Classroom is a witty, science-rooted, and deeply practical guide for educators who want to align their teaching with how the brain actually learns. Drawing from neuroscience and cognitive psychology (without the jargon), this book offers a fresh and empowering framework for designing classrooms where attention sharpens, memory sticks, and thinking deepens. Inside you'll find: How to use neuroplasticity, retrieval, and spacing to boost learning retention Strategies for reducing cognitive overload and building executive function Techniques for enhancing emotional safety and motivation through classroom design Practical insights on attention, distraction, and how to actually teach metacognition Ways to integrate visual thinking, embodied learning, and feedback that rewires the brain Classroom-tested tips to make lessons more brain-aligned without turning your room into a neuroscience lab This is not a checklist book. It's a mindset shift — a funny, curious, and strategic invitation to teach smarter by working with, not against, the biology of learning. Whether you're new to brain-based teaching or ready to level up, this book will change how you think about thinking.
