How We Learn
Learn how to integrate brain-friendly teaching to enrich your daily lessons. By teaching students how learning works, you can engage them and encourage their buy in while building executive function skills required for higher-level thinking!
Executive Functions in the Classroom
Teachers will explore what executive functions are, why they matter, and how small shifts in instruction and purposeful implementation can make a big impact on students’ success. From attention and working memory to emotional regulation and time management, you’ll walk away with simple, practical strategies to weave into your classroom routines—helping students learn how to learn and thrive with intention.
Who is Doing the Thinking?
Explore the balance between human learning and the growing role of AI and technology in education. This session examines how the brain learns best, when technology enhances understanding, and when it may unintentionally replace productive thinking. Participants will reflect on how to use AI and digital tools intentionally to support curiosity, problem-solving, and deep learning—while ensuring students remain active thinkers in the learning process.
​
Presented at the Learning & the Brain Conference, “Empowering Students to Overcome Anxiety in an Age of AI” explores the growing impact of technology and AI on student stress, confidence, and learning. This session highlights brain-based strategies to help students build resilience, manage anxiety, and develop healthy, balanced approaches to using technology while staying engaged in meaningful learning experiences.
Focus on how technology can meaningfully enhance learning when used with clear purpose and thoughtful design. This session explores brain-friendly strategies for integrating digital tools and AI in ways that strengthen engagement, critical thinking, creativity, and student independence—while keeping authentic learning at the center of instruction.
Self Regulated Learning in the Classroom: The G.A.M.E. series
A four-part series that teaches the cycle of Self-Regulated Learning: Goal Setting, Action, Monitoring, and Evaluation. Learn the importance and benefits of setting individual goals with your student. Integrate study methods and targeted action steps towards achieving student goals. Develop ways to monitor a student’s path to success and become drivers in their education. Teach students to evaluate what has worked and what hasn’t in order to adjust a goal and start the process over!
Incorporating Play in the Classroom
Play is an essential skill that teaches children turn-taking, how to win/lose, how to follow rules, and much more! When you incorporate play into education, you engage your students while also building their social skills! In this seminar, you will learn the science of play, the impact of play on social-emotional education, and how to include purposeful play in your classroom.
Reflect and Revive
Whew! You made it to May and now you are so close to a little bit of rest and relaxation. But wait, that is not the only R & R that is needed at this time of year. It is the perfect time to reflect and regroup about our instructional practices in the last school year. This workshop will guide you to target areas for growth and improvement, develop instructional goals and create action plans to implement in August. The end goal is to leave school for the summer with a clear plan to start August new and refreshed.
