I need further work on providing elaboration and depth of explanation about the relationships of brain functions and the learning process. My application showed I need to work on creating more specific classroom strategies to create a brain-friendly classroom. My in-class writings applying knowledge of brain research and learning theory demonstrated a good application of brain research and an excellent understanding of learning theory. My final synthesis project demonstrated a variable ability to synthesize the concepts of brain research and learning theory, language acquisition, and cultural diversity. My project was strong in APA formatting. My thesis was clear, the body and organization were logical and coherent, and the ideas well developed to support my thesis. I need to develop a clearer understanding of how to apply knowledge of language differences to my daily classroom practice.
