Workshops

Introducing Evidence-Based Teaching Practices into Your Classroom

These hands-on workshops are designed for educators who want to delve deeper into the practical side of applying learning sciences in their classrooms. Each workshop focuses on real-world applications, helping participants turn research insights into actionable strategies in their teaching practice.

• Demystifying the Brain: Practical Neuroscience for Educators. In this workshop, participants will explore how the brain learns and retains information through simple, evidence-based techniques. Activities will include creating strategies to enhance memory, attention, and engagement in their teaching practices.

• From Neuromyths to Facts: Rethinking Teaching Practices. Explore common misconceptions about the brain, such as learning styles or left-brain/right-brain theories, and learn how to replace them with research-supported practices. Participants will analyze case studies and discuss ways to bring science-backed strategies into their classrooms.

• Retrieval Practice: Strengthening Memory Through Active Recall. Discover how bringing information to mind—rather than re-reading—boosts long-term learning and retention. Participants will engage with practical examples and explore classroom strategies that make recall a powerful teaching and learning tool.

• AI in the Classroom: Aligning Technology with How We Learn. Participants will explore how AI tools can enhance learning when used in alignment with evidence-based principles from neuroscience. Through activities and discussions, they’ll learn how to integrate these tools thoughtfully without relying on quick fixes.

• Attention and Memory: Tools to Boost Student Success. This workshop offers hands-on techniques to improve student focus and retention. Participants will learn about and practice retrieval practice, spaced repetition, and mindfulness strategies that can be immediately implemented in their teaching.
