Title: The Science of Learning: Teachers are "Neuro-Plasticians"

Focus Area: Planning for Effective InstructionOther Area:

Identifying similarities and differences Cooperative learningSummarizing and note taking Homework and practiceQuestions, cues, and advance organizersYes Nonlinguistic representationsYesSetting objectives and providing feedbackYes Generating and testing hypothesesReinforcing effort and providing recognition Yes Other

Audience: AllAbstract: Teachers change brains. Whether the changes increase or impede learning about the content they

teach is dependent on how each student’s brain receives the information. Teachers who understand the connections between brain function and educational practice can increase the probability that desired learning takes place. In this session participants learn what neurosciences have clarified about the Information Processing Model, neuroplasticity, the strong link between emotions and learning, and how the brain builds neural schemas. When teachers understand the “science of learning” they can increase student achievement by intentionally designing instruction to complement how the brain works.
