Description

Join us for a unique two-day event combining "Brainpower: Science of Learning Principles & Learning Science Frontiers: from Surface to Deep Learning" a specialised program tailored for educators and leaders.

Day 1 serves as an introduction to neuro-educational strategies, paving the way for deeper exploration on Day 2 into the cutting-edge of learning science. Participants will delve into the synergy between neuroscience and education, equipping participants with practical tools and a deeper understanding of their learners.

This course aims to equip educators with the latest evidence-based approaches and is ideally suited for visionary educators dedicated to advancing student achievement.

Key takeaways               

• foundational understanding of the brain, including insights into neural development and neuroplasticity
• strategies to support and enhance attention, memory and critical thinking skills in their students, leading to improved academic performance and problem-solving abilities
• deep and nuanced understanding of how the brain functions in the context of learning. This includes exploring complex concepts in neuroscience and how they apply directly to educational settings, providing educators with a sophisticated perspective on learning 
• greater understanding of the cognitive processes involved in learning, such as metacognition, problem-solving and critical thinking 
• information about implementing innovative teaching strategies that challenge traditional norms and are grounded in the latest research in learning science
