Description

The three Neuroteach Global micro-courses included in Track are Teachers as Brain Changers, Classroom Culture, and Classroom Design. By completing these three micro-courses, learners are prepared to: • Embrace the concept of neuroplasticity, and that all educators are brain changers • Recognize ‘neuromyths’ that may appear in your teaching practice and address them • Identify any implicit biases based on race, gender, or other identifiers that may be affecting your teaching practices • Understand the impact the classroom environment has on working memory and attention • Design a classroom that facilitates and tells the story of the learning that happens there, and reflects the students’ voice • Understand how to create more space for students to visually show their thinking • Describe the relationship between emotion and cognition Strategically implement the use of positive emotion in the learning environment • Understand that social belonging and academic belonging are different and manage both for students • Depersonalize and normalize struggle, so students can see their successes and challenges as separate from stereotypes
