Judy Willis is a neurologist and teacher. She went to medical school and practicted neurology for 15 years. From there she went back to school to obtain her teaching degree and masters. She is currently a middle school teacher. Her studies consist of Research-Based Strategies To Ignite Student Learning: Insights from a Neurologist/Classroom Teacher (2006), Brain-Friendly Strategies for the Inclusion Classroom (2007), and Teaching the Brain to Read: Strategies for Improving Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension (2008) ASCD. She is completing a fourth book ASCD book about research-based strategies for math instruction. She lectures around the US on her research studies.
Judy is renowned for her research in helping students in the classroom learn. Her research can be benificial to help the students in our classroom learn in a way that is easy for the brain to do so. We as teachers can read up on her reasearch and apply it to our teaching methods.
I would love to read one of her books. I think it would be great to see how the brain can work in different ways to help the students understand various sujects. I think it would be great to be able to help parents understand her research as well to get them involved in helping their children learn.
