Founded in 2007 and inspired by the mission of Parents Education Network, Teachers' Education Network (TEN) is an organization dedicated to helping all teachers — regardless of classroom experience, institutional affiliation, discipline, grade level, or educational background – to understand research-based information about brain structure, development, and function, connect research-based findings with effective teaching practices, develop brain-based teaching practices and strategies supported by neurological research, and share relevant teaching observations and experiences with on-site colleagues and with teachers at schools throughout the Bay Area.
