Brain-Based Learning: What Does New Brain Research Tell Us About How
Children Really Learn? |
This presentation will assist teachers and administrators involved with children in the latest research
regarding how the brain learns. This workshop will explore brain-based learning strategies, the negative
effects of stress on learning, the principles of brain development and the roles of emotions in learning.
Students of all backgrounds, with every imaginable history of failure, or every age and attitude of
discouragement can and have succeeded with the brain compatible learning approach. Participants will
be able to use these strategies immediately when returning to their classrooms to help the most
challenging child to develop to their fullest potential.
Expected Outcomes:
• Participants will be introduced to the latest research on how the brain really learns.
• Participants will be able to identify the difference between passive and active learning.
