The role of hormones and brain chemistry in girls and boys behavior, learning and growth
Differences in male and female modes of emotive processing

Making a Good Brain Great
(High School Course)

by Daniel G. Amen and Jesse Payne

All over North America, this groundbreaking new course in brain science has been changing lives of students and providing insight and hope in new and exciting ways!

Envisioned by Dr. Daniel Amen while helping his daughter with her homework one evening, he began to question why knowledge of the brain was not being taught to all students in high school. After several months of research, writing, and development, Dr. Amen then partnered with the Orange County Department of Education and began a pilot course at a local continuation high school. The outcome of this pilot was such an amazing success! Soon after, teachers, districts, and administrators from across the country began approaching Dr. Amen, offering support and requesting that their schools be apart of a larger field test.

Dr. Amen then worked closely with Jesse Payne (Director of Education, Amen Clinics) and Jeff Hittenberger (Dean of Education, Vanguard University). After several months of hard work, dedication, and numerous drafts, this curriculum was then field tested at over 30 schools across North America. The results from this field test have been overwhelmingly positive!

After 18 months of research and development, Making a Good Brain Great – High School Course is now available to schools, students, and parents worldwide!

This course is divided into 12 sessions, each including an hour of lecture and an hour of lab/activities. The premise of the course revolves around the fact that the adolescent brain is in a crucial development stage during the high school years. The knowledge that teenagers integrate is likely to affect them for the rest of their lives.
