Brain Friendly Learning (BFL)
BFL has evolved from
– Howard Gardner’s work on multiple intelligences, and the desirability of engaging all of these to inspire better and more lasting learning
– The rise of emotional intelligence (IE or EQ) and the powerful advances in approaches to personal change and development such as neuro-linguistic programming
– Research into learning styles – one size does not fit all.
