Brain-based learning - Teaching how the brain learns
Abstract:

The human brain possesses an astounding capacity for rewiring and remodeling itself throughout life, enabling us to rejuvenate, refine, and enhance our cognitive abilities at any age. Explore the neuroscience of learning and discover strategies to maximize student potential through cognitive training.

Delve into the significance of neuroplasticity and various brain training techniques and neurotech that can empower neurodivergent learners. Learn how neurofeedback can support student well-being and integrate seamlessly into a school's social-emotional learning (SEL) program.

By strategically exercising specific neural pathways, we can significantly boost people's thinking, perception, learning, and memory skills. In fact, brain training exercises may be equally effective as medications in addressing neurodevelopmental conditions.
Incorporating cognitive exercises into school curricula can help students excel academically. When engaged in these activities, learners can develop greater precision, speed, and retention in their cognitive processes, benefiting both high-achieving students and those with learning needs.

By prioritizing cognitive training during the formative educational years, we can empower students to reach their full potential, equipping them with the mental tools necessary for academic and lifelong success. Investing in brain plasticity during this critical period can have a profound and lasting impact on cognitive capabilities.
