Classrooms today are not the same as they were ten years ago. Innovative, effective teaching strategies are needed to help match the needs of our students. We’re here to help.

The goal of this edWebinar is to equip educators, our main brain changers, with knowledge on how and why the brain impacts readiness to learn so they can help tap into students’ brains and make positive, lasting changes on learning and behaviour in the classroom. We discuss the neurological patterns seen in students’ brains and what makes classrooms in today’s age unique.

Educators and administrators will leave this edWebinar feeling equipped with easy-to-implement strategies that can be used to help improve classroom behaviour and learning at its core. Teachers, principals, and district administrators, you won’t want to miss this one!

This recorded edWebinar will be of interest to preK through elementary teachers, learning assistants/EAs, and school and district leaders. 

About the Presenter

Dr. Laura Dieleman, BSc, DC, is a mother of three, a chiropractor by trade, and has done postdoctoral studies in functional neurology for the last 13 years with a focus on children with neuro-behavioural disorders. While in the midst of having three children, Dr. Dieleman developed a growing concern for the increasing challenges children around her were facing. Due to this, she shifted her focus toward neuro-behavioural disorders in children and found an incredible link between learning, movement, behaviour, and brain function.
