This course provides teachers with an introduction to brain plasticity. Teachers will have an opportunity to engage with a short film that consolidates current findings from neuroscience to present key ideas in the topic of brain plasticity and its implications for the classroom. Teachers will explore fascinating research into brain plasticity and engage with the works of scholars in the field. Teachers will be given a brief introduction in common neuromyths and have an opportunity to reflect on their learnings and contribute to a discussion board where they can talk to other teachers around the world about how they have implemented what they learned into their teaching pedagogy. Teachers will be challenged to think about how findings in neuroeducation can impact the quality of their teaching and learning.
