Celebrating 20 Years of Title I Teaching!

I am pleased to be presenting on the first day of the Title I 2016 Annual Conference where I will be sharing our model/framework of mind, brain, and teacher leadership applied in classrooms and schools. My presentation "Improving Instruction through the Mind, Brain, and Teacher Leadership Model" is taken from five of Marcus Conyers' and my recently published books on the science of learning, brain-based teaching and teacher leadership. The focus will be on science and strategies that work for real teachers in classrooms across the U.S. Attendees will also hear stories of teacher leaders, my heroes, who are making a positive difference in schools and classrooms each day!

Over the past 20 years, we have shared our work with more than 10,000 K-12 students and 160,000 educators in live events, honing our teaching with input from teacher leaders. Many times our participants have been from Title I schools and districts in states including Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Montana, Alabama, North Dakota, North Carolina, Mississippi, Colorado, Maryland, Georgia, Washington, Florida, and many more. Educators have also studied the curriculum we co-developed to earn graduate degrees in practical applications of mind, brain, and education research over the past 15 years.

Welcome New UAE Colleagues and Friends!

Marcus Conyers and I are back in London as of last evening and on our way to Boston today after a most rewarding trip to the UAE! There we met wonderful teachers, administrators, leaders and new friends. Participants from all over the world attended our sessions in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In Abu Dhabi dignitaries including the minister of education also heard and enjoyed learning about cognitive neuroscience and BrainSMART methods during Marcus Conyers' inspiring keynote. While there, we often spoke of our excellent graduates and student scholars!
