Virtual Book Study

REGISTRATION REQUIRED

Neural Education is excited to announce our spring book study.

See below for dates.

For spring 2024, Neural Education’s featured book is:

Street Data

Join us on a journey through the groundbreaking book by Shane Safir and Jamila Dugan. In this book study, we delve into the intersection of neuroscience, assessment, and the voices of students to redefine how we perceive and utilize data in education.

Drawing upon insights from neuroscience, we’ll explore how to leverage street data to enhance educational opportunities through an asset-based model built around students’ brilliance, cultural wealth, and intellectual potential.

Don't miss this opportunity to engage in a thought-provoking dialogue with other educators as we challenge our preconceptions about knowledge, assessment, and what really matters when it comes to educating young people.

Facilitated by Neural Education Champions, Mary Snyder and Dawn Pringle.

Neural Education is THE thing - the thing that changed everything - the thing that returned my sanity - the thing that reignited my passion for teaching.
— Taylor Hansen, 3rd Grade Teacher
