We live in a time of unprecedented opportunity. More children have access to more teaching and learning than ever before in history. New advancements in technology are placing a vast world of information at the touch of a button, the click of a mouse. The Neuro-Sciences are providing more and more information about how we learn and how we remember. The challenges facing teachers every day are greater than they have ever been. Curriculum changes, the expectations of parents, more and more administration. All this combined with the growing competition of social media leaves teachers with less time for delivery. We believe it is a wonder that people still enter the teaching profession. Yet it is for most of them, not just a job, but a mission. A mission to spread enthusiasm and joy for learning. The sense of achievement helping those hard to reach students to learn more.
You could radically transform how quickly and easily your students could learn.
You were equipped with the tools to entertain and captivate the attention of your students, so they were able to reach a greater potential.
You had the secret of teaching excellence!
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a set of skills, behaviours, and beliefs which enable people to think in much the same way as a successful expert thinks. Whether it is spelling, basketball, art, music or maths, NLP finds the structure and teaches it to those already so gifted.
NLP was created by Dr. Richard Bandler and Dr. John Grinder in the 1970s, to study excellence, and replicate it. In the field of Education, NLP furnishes the teacher, or parent, with a way to change how a student learns. NLP can create a paradigm shift in every learner, in every classroom, in every school, in every college. Our action-based research, published in the Durham Report, as well as other project reports, demonstrates stunning results.
THE UNIQUENESS OF THIS BOOK is that it does what no other book can. This book gets right into the heart of how learning works with the collaboration of Dr. Richard Bandler and the Director of Education for the Society of Neuro-Linguistic Programming™ , Kate Benson. This collaboration of two people with such a deep and abiding passion for learning is the result of decades of relentless work.
Dr. Richard Bandler has spent the last 45 years developing elegant and swift ways to help people to think on purpose. To think more successfully, in a special way for each task. To motivate, decide and remember in new ways that make life easier and more effective.
