=__**Brain Compatible Strategies Session June 9-11, 2008**__= This session, attended by 26 teachers and co-taught by Stacy Brady and Judy Cichoracki, was a great success. Participants learned why the teenage brain behaves as it does, why this is such a critical time in the development of the brain, and how to help students store and retrieve information being taught. Powerpoints were used each day and are here for viewing. In addition, there is a Brain Compatible Strategies Summary page in which the strategies covered in the session are breifly explained. Participants were expected to complete an action plan on how they will incorporate some of these strategies in their lessons through the next semester.

Follow up will occur during the next school year comprised of 2 observations with feedback conversations faciliated by Stacy Brady in the first quarter. The class will reconvene one at the beining of 2nd quarter to discuss what is working, what may not be working and try to problem solve together.
