Linking Learning and Leadership to Brain Research
Nova Southeastern UniversityJuly 28, 2013
21st Century Learning
Emphasis on the right hemisphere
The PastPink (2006) suggested:
The 20th centuryPrimarily logic, sequence, and analytical skillsAdvances in science, engineering, and finance (flight, energy generation, capital deployment, globalization)Age of computing, language of codeInformation technologyFocus on product function
Left brain powered
The FuturePink (2006) argued:
The 21st century promises to place a premium onIntuitive and holistic thinking supported by logic and analysisBig picture perspectiveAge of conceptual thinking, language of storyForming creative connectionsCollaborationFocus on product design
Right brain powered
The Future (cont’d)
Black and Gregersen (2008) argued:People develop mental maps based on experience
20th century perspective tended to be self-centric and fixed21st century perspective must be juxtapositional and integrated
Larger context, contrasting, flexible, and empatheticRequires collaborative seeing, moving, finishing
Right brain powered
NeuroscienceAdvances in brain analysis using techniques such as fMRI, PET, and SPECT are pinpointing brain functioning
Executive functioning of the frontal lobes over distributed cognition
Integrated yet distinct functioning of the left and right hemispheres
Neuroscience (cont’d)
Goldberg (2009) reported:Left hemisphere primarily handles
LogicSequenceActivating established routinesAnalysis
Right hemisphere primarily handlesContextSynthesisFormulating creative solutionsEmotional expression
Left vs. Right
Left vs. Right (cont’d)
Education needs to ‘turn right’
The research, 21st century workforce requirements, and advances in neuroscience all point to the need for greater development and deployment of the right hemisphere
Education has a key role to playTeacher professional development and student learning engagement must focus more on the right brain
Proposed Symposium

Feedback
The Sessions13 right brain oriented purposeful sessions
Repeating sessions, approximately 30 minute durationStage: movement and dance (2)— focused on big picture, emotional expression, and flexible groupingSecond floor: music— focused on differentiation and collaborative discussionSide room: art (2)— focused on drawing, painting and mind mapping
Sessions (cont’d)Side rooms and both tiers of lobby: (8)— two sessions each focused on the core subjects (language arts, social studies, math, and science
Cross-disciplinary content using multi-media audiovisualsEmphasis on student relevancy, humor, games, and creative repetition
Participant takeaway
