Brain rule #8 caught my eye, along with brain rule #4. Brain rule 4 affects my teaching in that we are required to teach mini-lessons (no longer than 10 minutes). This makes sense if students check out after 10 minutes. I can try to make sure I stay within this time frame, which is something that I tend to struggle with.

Brain rule 8 states that stressed brians do not learn the same way as non-stressed brains. This can be critical to remember as students come from various backgrounds with different stresses such as divorce, financial burdens, etc.

Agree/Disagree or Along the Continuum (Where we draw the line) It was interesting to see the variety of responses from teachers. Our beliefs and philosophies affect how we teach, so the variety of opinions creates for many differences in classrooms.
