An Ultimate Learning Environment

     Being young adults, we will someday be the future leaders in this world.  It will be our
responsibility to design an education system that will bridge right and left brain learning in order to realize
"the full spectrum of human potential [that] loom[s] enticingly before us." (Margaret Hatcher, Whole Brain
Learning.)  The full potential of the human brain is now within reach.  To develop our brain to this
potential is the greatest challenge for educators.  Our class formed several groups that designed schools to
implement whole brain learning by developing the schools physical environment, curriculum, personnel,
and assessment. What did the students put in the school that would help achieve whole brain learning?

THE TASK

     Working in small groups one aspect of a school was to be fully designed. The area developed is for a specific age group or grade level.  The research findings in Margaret Hatcher's, "Whole Brain Learning" were used in support of why their schools would achieve the ultimate learning environment.

· Physical     Buildings and facilities, geographical location, classrooms
· Curriculum     What is taught, why, and how
· Personnel     Staff, students, community support

· 3 schools dealt with the science departments.  e.g. (Chemistry, Biology, Marine Biology, Physics, and Astronomy)
· 1 school was devoted to Kindergarten students
· 1 school focused on Physical Education

Right and Left Brain Functions

     The groups dealing with science departments focused on left brain functions.  These subjects require number skills, reasoning, sequential thinking, and convergent problem solving.   The remaining schools emphasized right brain functions.  They dealt with the creative a...
