NSU's Global Leadership Conference
We hope to see many of our students, colleagues, and friends at the upcoming Global Leadership Conference at the Disney Contemporary Hotel in Orlando. Our session is called ... Leading the Way: Putting Mind, Brain, and Education Research into Practice
In our session you will discover how key findings from
the fields of education, mind, and brain provide hope, promise, and practical
implications for schooling today. We will share research findings
based on studies of graduates of these exciting studies. Participants will
learn about new discoveries regarding brain plasticity that support adult and
student learning, the power of adopting and modeling practical optimism, and
strategies for increasing attention, memory, and finishing tasks. These
findings on the impact of MBE studies are based on several datasets that have
been shared in recent months at the American Association of Colleges for
Teacher Education, American Educational Research Association (INET), National
Association of Elementary School Principals, and the International Educational
Organization’s symposia in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Research and applications
shared in this session will also be included in an teacher education textbook currently in development with Teachers College Press and an article in
The Reading Teacher journal, both of
which are tentatively set for publication in 2013. Visit us at www.brainsmart.org.
