Are You a "Neuroeducator?"
“ARE YOU A NEUROEDUCATOR…YET?” (Glenn Whitman)
What if 100% of your school’s teachers and administrators understood the science of how the student brain learns, works, changes and thrives? This workshop, facilitated by the internationally recognized Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning, answers this question by sharing the most promising research and strategies that can help schools shift to becoming more brain-friendly and student-centered. This interactive, multiple-modality, virtual, professional learning experience provides a pathway for scaling the science of teaching and learning in your school. The chief beneficiaries of your attending this workshop will be each of your students who now have teachers who better understand how their brain learns and who can apply research-informed, “next-day” strategies to the academic achievement and social and emotional development for all students.
