How the Brain Learns Best

SEMINAR DESCRIPTION

No one really knows how the brain learns. I wish we did! It could life so much easier for everyone—parents, students, teachers, and you! Although we still see through a glass darkly in terms of how the brain actually learns, we know with impunity how the brain naturally learns best and that knowledge is at once exhilarating and depressing: exhilarating because with some effort and innovation the educational process could be enhanced significantly for most students; depressing because millions of brains are experiencing less than optimal learning as they move through or drop out of the educational process in a variety of environments, some of which are demeaning if not downright punishing.

This seminar is designed to present information related to how the brain learns best, against the backdrop of what we thought we knew about the brain and learning. Practically applied, the information presented can help your brain learn better and can make you more savvy when you need to help other brains learn.
