You Gotta Reach ‘Em to Teach ‘Em Webinar – Unlimited Access DVD

Description

This pre-recorded webinar on CD will be shipped to you for unlimited viewing.

Getting students engaged and keeping them engaged is a significant challenge in today’s classrooms. For students who learn differently, engagement looks a bit different. So how do we do it? How do we get students to the edge of their seats for successful learning?
In this timely 90-minute webinar, Author, Professor and Educational Neuroscience Expert Dr. John Almarode will disclose the key “must-have” ingredients for maximum engagement in your classroom environment.
Since the late 70s researchers and educators alike have debated the linkage between brain stimulation/learning and best practices in bridging the gap between neuroscience and education. Many concepts such as brain gyms and more have evolved, however the core concept remains that our brains are hard-wired to learn by doing.
This interactive webinar will help educators understand and experience the necessary steps to activate the brain so that it’s “rocking and rolling” in the classroom. Keeping the brain engaged requires an invigorating experience that keeps students coming back for more…every day! This webinar will help educators at all levels utilize the most recent research to keep student brains engaged resulting in academic success.
Webinar Highlights Include:

The latest educational neuroscience findings
The design and measurement of classroom environments that promote student engagement
STEM inclusion
Interventions for low socioeconomic populations
