The very best thing going for education at this time is the conjoined efforts of NEUROSCIENCE AND THE EDUCATIONAL PRACTITIONER.

The physical meeting of these two disciplines is manifest more often now that the ice is broken with more contemporary thinkers in both fields tending to agree that they really need each other for the sake of good education.

It seems that there is no real disagreement on the outcome that can be produced by a synergism being formed for the betterment of education for the student.

Some of the biggest hurdles to cross are still there:
l. Territorial insecurities. This is one of the most difficult areas to address by insecure professionals who cannot seem to let go of old ways of doing things.

2. The need for professional group leaders who are trained in group dynamics and can help move things off dead center.

3. Lack of Risk Takers. The general public is under the false impression that scientists and especially educators are liberal risk takers. This could not be further from the truth. Both of these groups are generally conservative and non risk takers.

OECD and CERI along with several Universities through out the world have been taking the lead in conjoin meetings of the neuroscientists and educational practitioners.

Be well,
