Research into neuroscience and brain-based learning supports the various accommodations, adaptations, and interventions needed for these misunderstood students. Their learning is often fuelled by inconsistencies and unpredictable learning environments. Teachers and parents alike do not comprehend this unconventional learner. This chapter will delve into the various strategies and approaches that classroom teachers need to implement as they differentiate their teaching to meet the needs of this unique group of young learners in the early childhood classroom.

The series will provide a synthesis of current theory and research on trends, issues, controversies, and challenges in the early childhood fi eld and examine implications for practice. One hallmark of the series will be comprehensive reviews of research on a variety of topics with particular relevance for early childhood educators worldwide. The mission of the series is to enrich and enlarge early childhood educators' knowledge, enhance their professional development, and reassert the importance of early childhood education to the international community. The audience for the series includes college students, teachers of young children, college and university faculty, and professionals from fi elds other than education who are unifi ed by their commitment to the care and education of young children. In many ways, the proposed series is an outgrowth of the success of Early Childhood Education Journal which has grown from a quarterly magazine to a respected and international professional journal that is published six times a year.

This debate should not prevent educators from using their new found knowledge toward enhancing their students' learning. By understanding how the brain learns, educators are able to determine what developmental level the child is physically, mentally, socially, and cognitively. The more knowledge an educator has and applies, the better the children will learn, and our future leaders will be better educated.
