bonnie NissenI want to introduce you to Stella. She’s the woman living in my head. But before I tell you about Stella, let me tell you a little about myself. For approximately thirty years, I have been in education; first as an education assistant, then classroom teacher and now as a resource teacher. It probably isn’t surprising that I am interested in brain research, particularly as it relates to how the brain processes information and how that impacts learning. Learning involves so many parts: attention, multiple types of memory, processing speed, recovery of stored information, reasoning, decision making, comprehension, language and more. These all work in concert to help us use existing knowledge and generate new knowledge and understanding. However these processes are not necessarily equal in functionality. For example, we may have a great memory but struggle with attention.
