Introduction
Keeping students engaged within the classroom has always proved to be challenging. With generational differences, and the onset of the technology revolution it is clear that the way educators have previously taught using traditional teaching styles, is no longer as effective (Churchill, 2011 & Connell, 2007).The link between bad behavior and disengaged students will be highlighted throughout this document, while evidence from contemporary literature on neuroscience research and how adolescent brains learn, will be identified. This will provide understanding of the thought processes of adolescent students, and indicate ways of how to engage the newer generation of learners (Churchill, 2011 & Connell, 2007). This guide has been developed to help new graduate teachers identify new teaching strategies based on neuroscience research for the engagement of today’s learners. (Churchill, 2011 & Connell, 2007).
