Do you have challenges engaging your learners? Can’t be sure your learners are really ‘getting it?’ In this exciting, hands-on Clinic, explore six “cognitive neuroscience” principles that trump traditional teaching and that show you how humans naturally and normally learn. Experience these six brain science principles as you learn how to apply them to make your training stick and your content unforgettable in any learning environment including classroom, online, one-on-one, and small or large group instruction. You’ll leave with a trainer’s tool bag full of activities, ideas, and excellent resources to add to your own understanding of brain science and human learning. You'll learn to explain the importance of these principles to training colleagues and those you teach; apply them every time you train, regardless of the topic, size of group, or level of learner; and choose from a collection of new brain science resources to enhance your instruction.
BONUS! You'll receive a free e-copy of Sharon's new book Using Brain Science to Make Training Stick.
Clinic Overview:
In this exciting, hands-on, clinic, you'll discover six "cognitive neuroscience” principles which show how humans really learn, as opposed to traditional, outdated assumptions about learning. Experience these six brain science principles as you learn how to apply them to your own training topics and content. Expand your knowledge of the physiology and psychology of the brain as it moves knowledge into long-term memory. Get the most up-to-date brain science research and valuable resources to add to your own understanding of human learning. You'll create your own trainer’s toolbag full of brain-based activities that apply the six principles and complete a clinic project using your toolbag strategies.
Learning Outcomes:
After participating in this fast-paced, interactive clinic, you will be able to:
- Explain the brain science research that forms the foundation of the six principles, and why these principles are important to effective training.
- Apply the six principles every time you train, regardless of the complexity of the topic, size of group, or level of learners.
- Choose from a collection of new brain science resources to enhance your
instruction, both in the classroom and online.
- Use your personal trainer’s tool bag, based on the six principles, with every training project and program you create and deliver.
Clinic Methods:
There will be two 90-minute live, online sessions that will be interactive throughout. In addition, there will be one hour of pre-work called “Warm-Ups" emailed to you approximately one week prior to the Clinic start date. During the Clinic, you will create a personal trainer’s tool bag of brain-based activities and use these strategies in a short, one-hour clinic project with your training content. Sharon will be available via email and phone throughout the week of the program to help with your projects.
BONUS ITEMS!!! When you complete the Warm-Ups, online sessions, create a trainer’s tool bag, and use it to complete a short clinic project, you will receive a free e-copy of Sharon’s newest book: Using Brain Science to Make Training Stick, as well as links to the material from her newest training program: “It’s a Jungle in There! An In-Depth Exploration of the Human Brain and Learning.”
