Your Brain, Your Life: Deep Foundations of Learning
– Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, Co-Founder & Director, LME Global
How does the brain work to make sense of reality, and what impact does this have on teaching and learning? During this engaging and interactive session, we will explore the often counter-intuitive foundations of thinking, the power of stories to drive perception, the role errors play in comprehension, and consider how these three concepts tie together to drive student learning. Buckle in – here is where things get real!
