The objectives of this session are to support educators in building knowledge of the science behind active learning. Attendees will leave with a tool kit of resources for themselves and their classroom that can be adapted to different types of technology and will help educators to measure, manage, and teach about neuroscience and physiology and how it impacts learning - for students of any age. We will explore how different chemicals and hormones impact students’ ability to learn, including how the right type of tools, used in the right way, can support learning at the highest level of Bloom’s, regardless of what a student enters the classroom with. Educators will have new tools to help their students and themselves understand and manage stress, anxiety, and more. This learning and knowledge sharing will be applicable to all subject areas and grade levels, as well as to adult learning experiences.
In this session, success will look like participants who are themselves actively engaged and empowered throughout the session, and who leave with actionable tools and ideas that can be put into place in any classroom immediately.
The first 30 minutes of the presentation will be focused on building knowledge about the science of active learning. This will be accomplished through delivery using devices and interactive digital activities, as well as having attendees experiment with breathing exercises and physical movement to help them relate to and understand the knowledge and information being shared.
In the next 15 minutes, participants will be encouraged to work in small groups to develop and discuss ideas for their schools or classrooms that support the knowledge that they have acquired. They will be able to work in collaborative digital and physical spaces to brainstorm and draft potential lesson plans that implement and enable some of the practices and strategies discussed.
The final 15 minutes of the session will be for knowledge and resource sharing from participants and presenters, with everyone leaving with tools and easy-to-implements options for any classroom.
