Professional Development for Educators
A dynamic learning experience designed to empower educators with critical knowledge in neuroscience to make informed, research-based decisions that advance student learning.
Educators will:
- Explore what happens in the brain when we learn
- Apply what we know about the brain to the process of remembering information
- Adapt strategies based on neuroscience research to inform your practice
- Debunk prevalent myths about the brain
- Reinforce the brain-learning connection in The Franklin Institute’s award-winning Your Brain exhibit
- Grit and Growth Mindset
Go beyond the buzz and discover what current research suggests about the benefits and limitations of encouraging a growth mindset in your students. - Social-Emotional Learning
Explore the neuroscience of emotions and dive deeper into how emotions impact your students’ learning. - Curiosity and Motivation
Discover what research into curiosity can tell us about what motivates our students and ourselves.
Each 5-hour professional development session at The Franklin Institute includes museum admission and parking, boxed lunches, coffee and tea service, and continuing education credit (letters upon request).
