nThis engaging teleconference will provide valuable information about three key elements of brain-compatible teaching and learning. Recent research about how student's brains grow, develop and respond to the environment should influence our classroom practices. Understanding some brain basics can give you guidelines to help you design truly brain-compatible classrooms and school environments. When the brain reacts to stress, its capabilities are minimized. For learning to occur, the brain needs stimulation in a multisensory, enriched environment. To assure long-term retention, the brain must actively process new learning using a variety of instructional strategies. You'll gain specific practical strategies to help reduce student stress, create systems and procedures for effective classroom management, encourage discovery play and orchestrate opportunities for active processing. Discover how to create a brain and body compatible environment that will bring the JOY of learning into the classroom!
