Principle #12:  Each brain is uniquely organized

The paradox that faces education is that human beings are both similar and different.  For example, every human being is an expression of DNA, and that process is universal. 

Yet every individual has a unique genetic blueprint.  To genuinely raise standards, educators have to grasp and deal with the commonalities of their learners and, at the same time, address each student as a unique individual with unique characteristics, capacities, and needs. 

Ultimately, it is only by adequately developing their unique capacities that students and teachers will be able to cope successfully with the issues of sameness and diversity.

Capacity #12:  All students can learn more effectively when their unique, individual talents, abilities, and capacities are engaged.
