Webinar Series: Brain-based Practices for Teaching & Learning

To help meet the needs of our evolving educational landscape, UP for Learning is hosting a series of online training sessions for educators and those partnering with youth in learning experiences that focus on

the impact of stress on learning,
the power and impact of positive self-talk, and
how the brain learns.

The central goal of this course is to better understand how the brain learns and effective brain-based practices and strategies for teaching and learning. Participants will explore the impact of mindset, metacognition & motivation on learning so they can help increase students’ potential for learning and life. Following each live training, participants will be provided with a lesson and resources they can immediately implement with youth to help them become more effective learners in any setting.

All sessions will be held on Zoom from 9:00-10:15 a.m. If you are unable to attend at this time, you can register and a recording of the webinar will be sent to your email.
