Session One: Fostering Empirically Supported Learning & Teaching: Part 1: Understanding Our Human Cognitive Architecture
First we explore the cognitive science that explains what students need in order to learn, develop and flourish (or thrive) within a created culture that promotes effort, error and curiosity as normal school-based expectations.
Session Two: Fostering Empirically Supported Learning & Teaching: Part 2: What Teachers Need in order to Help Students Flourish
We will discuss what classroom teachers need from administrators and their schools in order to foster and maintain this learning culture. This is a fast-paced session that will take a candid look at our teaching and learning cultures/mindsets and how the brain develops and learns.
Come hear our panel discuss and explore innovations in learning, and enhancing your school's impact to all families wanting Christian education within your community. These sessions will inspire you to think about how you can expand your school’s influence by creating additional learning spaces for students.
