**A curriculum needs to help students “gain knowledge, skills and enthusiasm for learning.” **  **Three main networks of the brain are ** **The “What”: Recognition **  **The “How”: Skills & Strategies **  ** The “Why”: Caring & Prioritizing **   ** (Cast, 2009) **
 * used in learning: ** 



Implications of Brain Research   This means we must design a diverse curriculum that activates all three networks since one size does not fill all with diverse learners. We need to make learning goals, methods, materials and assessments work for everyone.
