There is a growing interest within education in neuroscientific research, and what it means for our students and our classrooms. This course will present key concepts in learning, memory, intelligence and motivation. It will deconstruct common learning disabilities (dyslexia, ADHD etc) and address how new research can be applied to teaching and curriculum design.

Furthermore, it will address limitations in common "brain-based" learning schemes and expose common misunderstanding in how the brain learns. Finally, delegates will be introduced to accurate concepts which are readily applicable in the classroom. The day will bring together the expertise and experience of professional educators with those of key researchers investigating the field.
