Dr. Donna Walker Tileston has served education as a leader in teaching, administration,
research, writing, software development, and national consulting for the past thirty
years. Her administrative responsibilities have included curriculum development,
management, technology, finance, grants management, public relations, and drug abuse
prevention programs. For the past fifteen years Dr. Tileston has been actively involved
in brain research and the factors that inhibit learning or increase the brain’s
ability to put information into long-term memory.
Dr. Tileston’s research has been published through Corwin Press under the titles:
Strategies for Teaching Differently (1998) and Ten Best Teaching Practices: How
Brain Research, Learning Styles and Standards Define Teaching Competencies (2000,
2005) which has been on Corwin’s Best Seller List since its first year of print.
This research, along with comprehensive research on teaching and learning, brain
research, and research on the urban learner, led Dr. Tileston to write a bestselling
series titled What Every Teacher Should Know (2003, 2008). The series has been awarded
the Distinguished Achievement Award for Excellence in Educational Publishing by
the American Educational Publishers Association.
To date Dr. Tileston has made over 500 presentations on her research and materials
at state, national and international conferences, and her What Every Teacher Should
Know materials are presently being developed into a series of comprehensive state-of-the-art
interactive on-line courses, which will be available at this website.
