By exploring and capitalizing on new neuroscientific insights, educators have a unique opportunity to revolutionize standard pedagogical approaches. Research is proving that students are more successful at learning and retention of information when these discoveries are successfully employed. Central to initiating this movement away from standard approaches, is having educators understand and apply the ways that circadian rhythms and environmental influences can exponentially enhance a student’s abilities; how sleep patterns can be programmed to heighten performance; how distraction and forgetting can actually embed information; and how lack of routine and the absence of quiet can sharpen memory.
In this session, participants will:
- Explore the ways the central nervous system works to effectively embed knowledge toward application.
- Design a triage approach to develop study techniques for absorbing and retaining content materials and skills.
- Expand their repertoire of techniques to customize curriculum and optimize learning for school and for life.
