Learning and the Middle School Brain

Join us for a plunge into what research says about how middle schoolers' brains work and how they learn best. We know more today than ever before about how our brains work and how we learn best. This workshop will shed light on the research you need to know to help your students reach their potential. Learn better study habits, how to improve recall, and the best strategies for improving durable learning. We'll pause at each step to collaborate with peers and figure out how these strategies fit into your own classroom. Who should attend? This workshop is for middle school teachers who are frustrated with students only holding information long enough to get through the test, constantly having to reteach because students forget, and want to help their students with better study habits. ***** ***** ***** ***** ESC and CIESC Member Discounts Is your school district a member of CIESC or another ESC in Indiana?
