This Padlet is a creative reflection of my learning in brain-based instruction. It brings together key strategies, concepts, and insights I’ve gained, along with memorable quotes and resources that I can use to inspire my teaching practice. Each post represents something I want to remember and apply so that my lessons align with how the brain naturally learns, processes, and retains information.
