Insights from the Science of Learning hold tremendous promise to improve learning outcomes and well-being, make education more equitable, and increase teacher quality. Learn how to translate big ideas from research into everyday practices from a teacher who also knows the science.

This edWebinar, facilitated by the internationally recognized Center for Transformative Teaching & Learning (CTTL), dives into the most promising research that can transform how we teach to align with what is known about the way young children learn. Christine Lewis, Lower School Research Lead for The CTTL, uses the Science of Learning to teach the Science of Learning for the elementary environment. By viewing this edWebinar, you are able to:

• Connect, extend, and challenge your current understanding of how the brain learns and classroom practices with new ideas and ways of engaging with students
• Apply promising research-informed strategies and insights from Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) science to common opportunities in the elementary classroom
• Connect motivation, academic resiliency, and the belonging mindset to how you work with each individual student

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK-5 teachers, librarians, school and district leaders, instructional specialists, professional development coordinators, and instructional coaches.
