This chapter focuses on how the brain processes information and how inclusive pedagogies can empower learning. Learners are shaped as people by their shared and unique cultures and experiences. Tapping into these experiences takes advantage of the unique structure of every learner’s mind and is one of the most powerful ways the brain learns. In this chapter, the authors explore: universal ways that the brain processes information, cultural differences and their impact on processing and knowledge, neurodivergence and how it can impact experience and learning, and inclusive strategies that can facilitate the effectiveness of the learning process.

Discussion Questions Given what we have learned about the ways identity and culture shape brain processing, how might you design, present, or facilitate assignments differently? How might you design, present, or facilitate assignments given what we have learned about neurodivergence? How might you design, present, or facilitate assignments given what we have learned about cultural differences for instructors and learners? What kinds of inclusive learning strategies might you engage to improve learning outcomes? Share:
