Tame the tiger in the classroom
Students are dealing with multiple demanding challenges in their academic and personal lives. These stressful challenges are unintentionally hindering higher cognitive functions required for academic success. We will explore the applied neuroscience of how to regulate the mind and body to optimize higher cognitive functions to improve memory and learning. Through experiential learning, you will acquire the skills to help your students mitigate the adverse effects of stress (academic, personal, and work-related) on the brain to optimize learning in the classroom.
