Description
This web site features the insights, publications, and calendar of presentations by Dr. Judy Willis, a board-certified neurologist and middle-school teacher in Santa Barbara, California. Dr. Willis's work draws on her fifteen years as a practicing neurologist, her teacher-education training, and her years of classroom experience. She is an authority in the field of learning-centered brain research and classroom strategies derived from this research. Her web site is named for her emphasis on teaching practices that engage the heart and mind to challenge all students to their highest potentials. The letters "RAD" represent parts of the neural system particularly active in learning and memory: R for the reticular activating system, A for the amygdala, and D for dopamine. Less
