From the Paper:
"Brain-Based learning theory is based on the concept of immersion of one with their environment. Core principals of the brain-based learning theory suggest that learning involves both conscious and unconscious processes. The teacher must be artistic so that all of the student's senses are involved in the learning. Verbal communication and index cards are too traditional and inhibit the brains learning process. We need to incorporate the 12 principals of brain-based learning into our classroom and lesson plan (Knight )."
