“…The brains were owesome.” [sic] ) but also a way to let students know about opportunities in the local area for them to actually get involved in brain science research. In addition, it was often a chance for the researchers to remember the wonder of what they do—to be able to confirm, in all honesty, that yes, brains and brain science are, as another student wrote, “really cool.” Others have reported on the benefits of such classroom visits to students, teachers, and researchers (e.g., Cameron & Chudler, 2003; Peplow, 2004).

-This article describes the efforts of a small group of educators and researchers to build a model for making connections across mind, brain, and education. With a common goal of sharing, strengthening, and building useable knowledge about child and adolescent learning and development, we focused on questions of mutual interest to educators and researchers. We describe our efforts to develop a common vocabulary and language and to create opportunities for dialogue and discussion, including classes and talks for in-service and preservice teachers, research laboratories open to in-service and preservice teachers, local conferences that provided a context for educator and researcher interactions, and researcher outreach in the local education community at the administrative, classroom, and student levels. These activities represent concrete mechanisms by which links might be forged between educators and researchers within the context of Mind, Brain, and Education.
