Brain
Research and Its Application in the Classroom
The latest research about the brain is answering many questions that
have been puzzling dedicated educators for decades. There is a
mountain of information AND it is constantly changing. This course
presents cutting-edge research in an organized, digestible way using
hands-on demonstrations to show teachers how to better understand
their students and reach them more effectively. This course is
appropriate for teachers of gifted, on-level, and struggling
students.
Understanding Struggling Learners
In this class, you will learn to see through the
outward difficulties of struggling learners and identify the root
causes of their challenges. You will understand how to identify the
processes of the brain in every-day language and how to detect
complications in the seven key areas of brain function. This
information will enable you to help students overcome their
challenges and learn successfully.
Brain Development 101
In this class, you learn about the developmental
milestones which are neurologically significant,
the order of that development, and the area of the brain responsible
for those milestones. You also learn observation techniques to
ensure children are progressing properly, and what to do if they are
not. This is vital information appropriate to
everyone who has children in their life.
