Focus Education provides a global Professional Learning Service for educators, corporations, parents and students.

We have learnt that the brain needs certain biological conditions met in order to work at optimal levels - nutrition, sleep, exercise, emotional engagement and safety from threat are key elements of conditions for learning. The classroom of the future must reflect both the biological and social nature of diversity and create programs based on learning rather than teaching. Brain-compatible education is a term to describe the highly interdisciplinary blend of theories that relate to all levels of organisation of the human brain. Strategies claiming to be brain-compatible must satisfy the criteria of contributing to the likelihood of engagement in learning from students, regardless of the weighted elements that mitigate against learning.
