A definition: why ConnecticutL works -- Making connections to find meaning -- Self-regulated learning and collaboration -- Critical and creative thinking -- No one is ordinary: nurturing the individual -- Reaching high standards and using authentic assessment -- ConnecticutL: a pathway to excellence for everyone.

Subject: Contextual teaching and learning (CTL) is a system for teaching that is grounded in brain research. Brain research indicates that we learn best when we see meaning in new tasks and material, and we discover meaning when we are able to connect new information with our existing knowledge and experiences. Students learn best, according to neuroscience, when they can connect the content of academic lessons with the context of their own daily lives. Johnson discusses the elements of the brain-compatible contextual teaching and learning system: making meaningful connections; investing school work with significance; self-regulated learning; collaboration; critical and creating thinking; nurturing the individual; reaching high standards; and using authentic assessment. Drawing on the practices of teachers in kindergarten through university, Johnson provides numerous examples of how to use each part of the ConnecticutL system.
