Teaching is the only profession responsible for changing brains. Today’s technology is beginning to reveal how the brain functions and what impacts human thinking and learning. These revolutionary findings offer compelling information about how to make dramatic improvements in student learning and performance.  Trained by Eric Jensen, Pat Wolfe, Rich Allen, and David Sousa, Teacher Academy trainers lead educators to a better understanding of how brain research can impact diverse learners and offer practical strategies that will transform classrooms.

Participants will:
• Learn the important parts of the brain every educator needs to know and how neurons communicate to form the long-term memories necessary for learning;
• Learn how neurotransmitters such as serotonin, cortisol, adrenaline, and dopamine affect student learning and how to manage resulting behaviors;
• Learn how to make learning “stick,” applying a new understanding of memory pathways;
• Experience the 4 Ms of memory and then learn to utilize them in their own classrooms for sustaining long-term content recollection.
