How can knowing about the brain transform learning?
We are living in unprecedented times, education is in upheaval, educators are key role models for the future. One of the major quests of the educator is as Curtis says to “relieve the suffering of the classroom,” and the more we understand the brain and emotional triggers, the more we can help our learners. Making learning more suited to individuals, making learner focused and centered upon the learners is absolutely key, to make sure that "Anyone can learn how to learn easier, better, faster, and that learning to learn is the most important skill a person can acquire." As a panel we will discover how the speakers added dimension that neuroscience and psychology can add to enhance the learning process and in all disciplines, not only language learning. Join us in a LIVE panel discussion forming a triangle spanning the earth - Argentina, Spain, Greece, Japan to Korea. We will also be responding to your questions and comments regarding this topic, so do send in your questions and on the day we will try and address as many as we can. MYSTERY EASTER EGG
