Elevating How We Teach and How Students Learn with Brain Science
Every day, every student, in every school will have their brain; they will never forget to bring their organ of learning. What if all teachers and school leaders knew the science behind how the brain and the mind learn, work, change, and thrive?
This session begins or elevates each participant's understanding of robust research and strategies in the field of Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) science with a key focus on elevating participant's understanding of neuroplasticity while also debunking some neuromyths using a play-based experience for the adult learner's brain. Participants will leave with teacher-friendly, next-day MBE strategies to bring back to their schools, teachers, and most importantly students.
