Congratulations to Leanne Maule, 2009 Georgia Teacher of the Year: Graduate NSU’s EdS focusing on Brain-Based Education

We congratulate Leanne Maule for her achievement in becoming 2009 Georgia Teacher of the Year. We are impressed with her commitment to creating a classroom designed with brain-based research in mind and for teaching her students practical strategies for enhancing their academic success. Leanne says it best in her brochure…

“Finally! Teachers now have concrete, research-based strategies for improving student performance. Designing the curriculum for all learners with brain-based research in mind is essential for every student’s opportunity for personal achievement. I only wish my teachers had known what I know now!”
