When educators learn how the brain works, their practices transform.

The SACRED Framework is a collection of educational neuroscience concepts that have been distilled into the six principles represented by the acronym SACRED.  Those principles are: Safety, Attention, Connection, Retrieval, Executive function, and Differentiation.  

Educators can access modern brain-based understandings of teaching and learning in a memorable format with practical applications and transformational potential.

Teachers report thinking differently about their students, the composition of their lessons, and their overarching philosophy of teaching.  (When's the last time you participated in professional development that had that kind of an effect on you?)  In that sense, neuroscience offers educators something precious, rare, and powerful: not just a new strategy to deploy, but a lens through which new and effective strategies might be analyze, understood, and developed.
