Event InformationIn the last ten years research has totally transformed our understanding of how the brain works. The practical question for teachers though is what does this mean for the everyday classroom? This workshop offers practical easy to use strategies that use cutting edge discoveries about the brain to make the job of teaching easier and more productive. Over the course of the workshop participants will: *Evaluate engagement strategies and learning games that are specifically based on recent findings about the brain and young people *Explore introductory research material on brain development *Discuss how exciting new ideas like the concept of “neo-plasticity” can make the role of everyday teaching easier and more productive *Review resources designed to teach students how their own brain works and strategies for study techniques to make the most of these insights |
