We have also produced a special DVD with Dr Curran, Ian Gilbert and Michael Supple to help teachers apply the latest findings about the way the brain works to everyday classroom challenges. It's entitled Three Chairs, a Table and a Lamp and was filmed on location in North Wales. Click here for more details
