On the Cover: BRAIN-BASED EDUCATION
It has been more than a decade since the Kappan devoted much space to the role of neuroscience in K-12 education. Now, it is time to reopen that conversation. Eric Jensen, one of the leading interpreters of neuroscience, lays out the state of the field today. Cognitive psychologists Robert Sternberg and Dan Willingham reply, as does neurologist and teacher Judy Willis. Mr. Jensen offers a final word.
