Explore the neuroscience of resilience and learning

Neuroscientists have uncovered insights into how the human brain functions, particularly regarding resilience. As we navigate through the aftermath of COVID-19, it’s evident that students’ brains are undergoing significant rewiring. This three-day institute offers educators and district teams an opportunity to explore the neuroscience of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) & Resilience and understand the intricate connection between learning, belonging, and academic achievement.

Delve into the latest research findings and walk away with practical, brain-informed strategies that can be implemented immediately to enhance student learning experiences, foster inclusive learning environments, and nurture a stronger sense of belonging among students. During this immersive course, administrators and educators will:

• Experience a brain-informed pedagogical model that is central to critical understanding of areas of connection, comprehension, and affective engagement

• Explore how neuroscience-informed strategies can be directly applied in educational settings to promote student engagement, participation, and academic success.

• Delve into the neural mechanisms underlying resilience and emotional regulation through collaborative inquiry, fostering a deeper understanding of how these processes impact academic outcomes.

• Develop actionable plans to integrate SEL & Resilience research into teaching practices and student support systems, ensuring that academic outcomes are enhanced through neuro-scientific principles.

• Implement universally designed practices, ensuring educational experiences are accessible and beneficial for all students, regardless of individual learning needs or abilities.
