Focus Education provides a global Professional Learning Service for educators, corporations, parents and students. The mission of the organisation is to provide the most current information about learning with the brain in mind as possible, at the most competitive rate achievable. Research into how the human brain learns presents an unprecedented opportunity to reflect on the vast array of practices that make up teaching and learning, and to determine what actually benefits students in classrooms, as well as what needs to change in order to improve learning and make the schooling experience more enjoyable and satisfying for all. We have learnt that the human brain is highly 'plastic'. Life-long learning is our biological imperative. We have learnt that the brain needs certain biological conditions met in order to work at optimal levels - nutrition, sleep, exercise, emotional engagement and safety from threat are key elements of conditions for learning. The classroom of the future must reflect both the biological and social nature of diversity and create programs based on learning rather than teaching. Brain-compatible education is a term to describe the highly interdisciplinary blend of theories that relate to all levels of organisation of the human brain. Strategies claiming to be brain-compatible must satisfy the criteria of contributing to the likelihood of engagement in learning from students, regardless of the weighted elements that mitigate against learning.
