We're Born to Learn: Using the Brain's Natural Learning Process to Create Today's Curriculum
"This is an important and useful book-readable, practical, and inspiring advice for the practicing teacher. This is a great translation of theory into practice, and Rita's stories of her own work are especially compelling."
Jean MacGregor, National Learning Communities Project
The Evergreen State College, Olympia, WA "This author not only summarizes the theories and research regarding how the brain functions in the process of learning-natural learning-she also shows how she has continued to apply it in her own teaching and learning."
Robert Pinney, Director
Extension Teacher Education Programs, Western Washington University Make it possible for all students to realize their potential as natural learners! We all have an innate, natural ability and motivation to learn. We are natural pattern-seekers, thinkers, and learners from birth-and the brain uses the same innate processes throughout life. This exciting new resource provides parents and educators of students of all ages with important information about how the brain learns. In We’re Born to Learn, Smilkstein reframes traditional education, transforming the student who "can’t" into the student who is simply not experiencing his or her birthright as a naturally motivated learner. This book provides research-based, concrete strategies for creating a student-centered curriculum in which every student can learn! Smilkstein has broken down the Natural Human Learning Process (NHLP) into six stages from foundational knowledge through higher-level thinking. She then provides guidelines and models showing educators how to create learning experiences at each stage of the process for individuals, small groups, and whole classes so all students can experience the joy and satisfaction of success. We’re Born to Learn includes: - Detailed field/classroom and neuroscience research combined into principles for developing brain-compatible, natural-learning curricula for any classroom
- Simple charts detailing the six-stage Natural Human Learning Process
- Practical methods for developing curricula and selecting pedagogical strategies that are most effective in helping students utilize their innate learning processes
- Guidelines and models for how this theory can be applied to the development of classroom-proven lesson plans and curricula
This extraordinary book provides the missing link between brain research and the classroom-the author's unique research with almost 7,000 students and educators, revealing how people experience their own natural learning. It shows teachers how to create and deliver curriculum that helps all students become the motivated, successful natural learners they were born to be! .

I'm OK, You're My Parents : How to Overcome Guilt, Let Go of Anger, and Create a Relationship That Works
A guilt-free guide for adults seeking more satisfying relationships with their parents In a recent study, half of all Americans rated their relationship with at least one parent as either “poor” or “terrible,” and more than a third felt this way about both parents As life expectancy continues to rise and the parent-child relationship extends further into adulthood, this problem is becoming more prevalent than ever. Now, psychologist Dale Atkins presents a step-by-step plan for adults trying to come to terms with parents who are only human—before it is too late. In I’m OK, You’re My Parents, Atkins applies the same intelligent, no-nonsense approach that’s made her a frequent guest on top-rated TV shows. She urges a restructuring of the relationships between adults and their aging parents and gives practical, specific advice on how to exorcise the demons of anger and resentment, untangle financial arrangements that cause stress and feelings of powerlessness, set limits on your parents’ demands for time and attention, turn a spouse or friends into a powerful resource, overcome your own resistance to change, and discover the redemptive power of humor. This book draws on Atkins’s twenty-five years of experience as a relationship expert to present a comprehensive guide to repairing difficult relationships, gaining control, and building a life that you and your parents can live with for years to come. .
