Brain Compatible Learning involves employing integrated instruction with an emphasis on using the multiple intelligences, Bloom's Taxonomy, and aligning your state standards in order to create and write a conceptual curriculum. Also, integrated in the ITI program is a mico-society within the school framework, and a governance structure. According to Susan Kovalik:
Integrated Thematic Instruction (ITI) is a comprehensive school improvement model designed to increase student performance and teacher satisfaction. The primary purpose of the model is to grow responsible citizens. Over the past 25 years, ITI has been implemented in thousands of schools across America, Europe and Asia.
The ITI model is a brain-compatible instructional model grounded in the biology of effective instructional strategies, and the development of conceptual curriculum.
I posted the web address to everyone. I will add more information about this wonderful model in the weeks to follow. Hope everyone enjoys.

Linda your blog reminded me of a philosophical approach to learning. In the context of research it is believed that philosophical approaches provide an illuminating insight into the richness of human intellectual culture. Implicit beliefs about what should go through for knowledge, truth, justice, beauty, the good life, are generally acknowledged to be fundamental to the way we think and act in life. An important intellectual challenge in this regard is finding an individual’s way among the increasing variety of theoretical perspectives.
The writer has been reading a fair bit of material on research design and methodology. Most of the material located relates to the social sciences. They stress the importance of clarifying one's ontological, epistemological and methodological assumptions. Apparently this clarification is important because it serves to justify an individual’s decision to use a particular research method.
Thank you for sharing. My contrary approach provides yet another approach to learning.
