The modern student requires more than just an Instructor that reads from a slide presentation. The ability for today’s instructor to understand not only how the brain works, but how learning takes place is key to a successful classroom experience. Through a lecture-based presentation and breakout discussion groups, participants will look at the learning process and how to apply these ideas to their own classrooms. By the end of the program, participants should have an understanding of how to enrich their teaching for better understanding and retention. They should also be able to recognize the needs of the different student types within the class. These understandings and abilities should be transferable to both the formal and informal learning environment.
