Come to the cutting edge! This conference will update participants' awareness of brain research into learning so that they can consider which classroom strategies and techniques are more likely to result in successful learning. We debunk some of the common and persistent myths about learners and learning. Dr. David Sousa will review some of the fascinating new research about how the brain learns. His presentation will include topics such as the brain's "windows of opportunity," what the brain of today's student expects in school, the students' changing sensory preferences, the effects of emotions on learning, and some new insights into learning "disorders."
