Education that Works
The Neuroscience of Building a More Effective Higher Education

This groundbreaking book argues that due to how the brain works, students develop insight, maturity, and passion for their career growth.
What People Are Saying
"James Stellar draws on his deep knowledge of neuroscience and his years of experience as an academic officer at major universities to make the case for adding experiential education to traditional, class-based undergraduate programs. The book's title—Education That Works—tells it all."
Past President of Northeastern University
"At a time when states across the nation are mandating experiential learning in higher education, neuroscientist and academic leader James Stellar has written a beautiful book that educates and inspires us about the unique power of experiential learning to transform students' visions and decisions about their best futures."
