Inspired Educator, Inspired Learner Workshop:

In this interactive workshop, educators and facilitators will fill their toolbox with experiential, brain-based techniques to engage, motivate, and meet the diverse needs of learners while building a positive, collaborative and productive community. We will explore a variety of brain-based approaches that involve learners emotionally, socially, physically, and intellectually. These strength-based approaches maximize social-emotional learning, group development, academic, and training outcomes.

We will explore:

  • Experiential, brain-based strategies to actively engage participants physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually
  • New research from the field of educational neuroscience and its impact on learning and social-emotional skills development
  • Methods for creating a positive, productive and supportive group environment
  • Strategies for increasing  involvement, buy-in, and ownership of learning experiences
  • Interactive activities to build community while enlivening academic lessons and differentiating instruction
  • Experiential, brain-based teaching approaches to teach, review, and reinforce lessons in a dynamic and engaging way
  • Engaging group-building activities to develop rapport, community, and social-emotional skills such as positive communication, problem-solving, collaboration, and decision-making
  • Strategies for embedding instruction and group building in play including games and activities to teach, reinforce and review academic content –maximizing engagement and learning
  • Innovative reflection tools and techniques to increase relevancy, meaning, depth of understanding, and connection to future learning situations
  • The role of the educator/facilitator as guide, and the importance of flexibility, attitude, adaptation, and awareness of group and individual needs and differences
