Program

Neuroscience research shows that every brain is different, having been individually sculpted by genes, experiences, adversity, poverty, parenting and education. New research is connecting our understanding about changes in children's brain structure and function to specific aspects of education, and is beginning to explain how educational learning experiences reshape the brain networks that support a child's basic cognitive skills such as paying attention, reading and mathematics. This conference will help you understand the individual differences in your students' brains, how these differences affect learning, and how your teaching, intervention and learning environments are changing the structure of their brains and influencing their life-long learning abilities and disabilities.
