Presentation 1--Dr. Bob Greenleaf

Neuroscience Transfer to Education

This session addresses how research from the neuroscience field can be translated into the classroom, answering the question, "How do I frame existing lessons so that all learners become engaged in learning?" The goals are to engage all learners simultaneously, to cause learners to do the work (processing) of learning, and to create interconnections with other key ideas.
