| Published Works and Support Materials
Because a Bodybrain-Compatible classroom looks and feels vastly different from the traditional classroom, it is challenging for teachers to create and maintain a vision of where they are going and how to get there. In order to assist them, numerous books, videos, and support materials have been created (many have been updated with more current research findings and former titles are now *out of print) and made available.
The Center for Effective Learning offers many rich and ready resources (print, visual, auditory, and online) that provide additional knowledge, strategies, and research to support educators, parents, and others involved in the field of education to assist in the implementation of the Highly Effective Teaching model (formerly ITI). Many of these items have been created or designed by our Master HET Associates – all who have provided classroom instruction using the model. We invite you to read a book, watch a DVD, listen to character education songs, or browse other support materials – available through the Books for Educators website.
