Mary helen immordino-yang biography of martin

Immordino-Yang, an expert on the intersection of neuroscience and learning, last visited Rivers in 2012, where she provided insight about her latest research and what “good learning and good learners” look like from the perspectives of both neuroscience and education.

In her return visit, she provided a thought-provoking and animated presentation building on her extensive research on how the brain processes information, particularly in the context of teaching and learning.  

“From providing a powerful scientific foundation to the Middle School no grades of records policy to championing the transformative impact of the Sages & Seekers program in tenth grade, one might say that Mary Helen’s work embodies the very essence of Excellence with Humanity,” Head of Middle School John Bower said in his introduction on Monday.
