Brain Compatible Learning ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

This course extends participants’ understanding of “best learning practices” from findings based on brain research and pedagogical theory. Reflections include the impact of enriched environment; the role of emotions; the relationship between brain, mind, and intellect; the connection between memory and learning; the developmental path from novice to expert; and the role of experience in learning. Educators explore how these principles guide their work with children and create brain-compatible classrooms.
