Is this going to be on the test? Why do we have to know this? Is this for a grade? Can you tell me what I need to do to get this right? These questions haunt each and every teacher that is on the receiving end of such inquiry by their students. However, when we create an environment that fosters and nurtures engagement, questions like these evaporate from our schools and classrooms while our students engage in their learning. How can we create this type of environment? Over the past fifteen years, the science of learning has provided many insights into how we learn and think.  These promising principles provide a starting point for educators to apply the science of learning to the instructional decisions they make in their classroom.  This workshop unpacks the most recent and relevant findings from the science of learning and shows you how to put them into action! Practicing what we preach, participants will take part in an out-of-your-seat experience that models the promising principles from the science of learning for deep thinking and understanding.
