Journal Articles from EDUC - 6610D - 1 Teacher as a Professional

I am a Secondary English teacher working on my masters degree. A couple of the articles that I read recently for my graduate class at Walden University, Brain-compatible learning: Fad or foundation? by Dr. Pat Wolfe (2003) and Addressing literacy through neuroscience by Steve Miller and Paula Tallal (2006) talked in depth about how science is making concrete connections between the "brain's functionality" and development to students' abilities to learn, but did little to explain how to apply that science to curriculum development and best practices in the classroom; although, both touted a "computer-based intervention program, Fast ForWord" meant to improve reading skils. Further research uncovered mixed reviews about the product and I wondered what other education professionals were doing to link brain-based research with instruction within their own classrooms, especially in high school with struggling learners. I would love to hear what you think.
