Affective Neuroscience and the Classroom – How Emotions Affect Academic Learning (CBHSL) will contribute 3 hours of QTC Registered PD addressing 4.4.2 and 6.3.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.

This custom course for Christian Brothers High School, Lewisham, investigates research from Immordino-Yang and Damasio’s 2007 paper “We Feel therefore We Learn – The Relevance of Affective and Social Neuroscience to Education”. Teachers will learn how brain plasticity relates to the classroom and how emotions affect learning. The course connects a breadth of current neuroscience research in how the brain learns to support ideas presented in this paper on affective neuroscience and learning. The theoretical aspects of this course will be interspersed with practical workshop activities.

Teachers will workshop practical strategies to leverage this neuroscience research to improve and enhance their teaching practice including to genuinely impact the lives of students as well as their academic learning.

Teachers will explore Immordino-Yang’s research on how inspirational stimulus can affect the brain and body and motivate a person towards altruistic and pro-social behaviours. Conversely teachers will learn about the consequences in the brain and body when a person is presented with a threatening stimulus that induces feelings of fear and demotivation.

Teachers will use this research to explore the role of the teacher as a potential key motivating figure in a student’s life – a person who holds the capacity to not only teach curriculum content, but through this, to motivate a student to aspire towards altruistic behaviours, to learn, to love and to live.

QTC Registration is awarded for completing the online components of this course. Specifically to address standard descriptors 4.4.2 and 6.3.2 through contributing to collegial discussions and applying constructive feedback from colleagues to improve professional knowledge with regards to Implementing School requirements regarding Student Wellbeing and Safety  into classroom practice over a period of 12 months between 05/12/2016 – 05/12/2016.
