Grey Matters: Teaching The Way The Brain Learns is a 2017 educational documentary film, written and directed by Ramona Persaud. Premiered at the Johns Hopkins School of Education in 2017, the film covers how three teachers- Justin Holbrook, Jeremy Mettler, and Vicky Krug, resort to leveraging brain science to break through the boredom and disinterest of their students.

Synopsis
Exploring the personal journeys that led three teachers to use a neuroscience-based teaching model, and showing that model in action within their locales and student age brackets (Roland Park Elementary/Middle School in Baltimore, Maryland; a high school in upstate New York, and a community college in Western Pennsylvania), Grey Matters touches on the core concepts of brain-based education and the intimacy with which some students and teachers respond to it. The film elaborates on practical application of the Brain-Targeted Teaching Model. This model, developed by a Baltimore educator in one of the highest-performing schools in the city, demonstrates a complete paradigm shift in education, which has drawn increased attention globally since Roland Park's former principal, Mariale Hardiman, created it more than a decade ago.
