Two New Books Released This Summer
Learning to Love Math: Teaching Strategies that Change Student Attitudes and
Get Results, Insights from a Neurologist and Classroom Teacher. ASCD July, 2010. This
book uses math as an example because it is the subject with the most negativity, but the book is
about neuro-logical strategies for changing student negativity to motivation and promoting
growth mindset in any subject or school in general.

Dr. Judy Willis, view archived webinar from 10/14/2010: http://bit.ly/anjSqo
Ask Dr. Judy Webinar: How Can I Motivate My Students? http://bit.ly/deEq07
View webinar with Dr. Willis' unique brain-based perspective on ideas to motivate children.
Some students come to us already discouraged, with negative baggage about their own
potential, school in general, or the subjects we teach. How can we change that negativity to
motivation? The keys are discussed in this informative one-hour webinar including how to
connect with students' curiosity, help them recognize incremental progress, and use other
neurological strategies to reverse negativity and sustain a positive attitude.
"Why Don't Students Pay Attention" from May 11, 2010 ASCD archives
http://bit.ly/a0LbMa. The first 10 minutes have a voice repeat/delay, but that goes away and the
rest is clear. The next webinar is October 14th about “Helping students PARTICIPATE and learn
from their mistakes” and will also be available in ASCD.org archives soon thereafter.
The webinars in the ongoing series are interactive and sustained with an ongoing discussion
group at the free ASCD EDGE network discussion page called, How the Brain
Learns http://edge.ascd.org/_How-the-Brain-Learns/group/110564/127586.html This free
ASCD “EDGE” website discussion group is a place for you to ask questions, make
comments, share your knowledge, or post lesson plans to share with colleagues and other
educators from around the world.
I'll look for questions or comments, especially those tagged in the title with, "Ask Dr
Judy Question" that I'll often respond to on the website and/or in an upcoming Webinar.
Other educators will also respond to your questions as we share ideas and resources.
