Conference Announcement
Learning & the Brain
2 to 4 May 2001, Washington, D.C., USA
Using recent findings in brain science, which illuminate
how children actually learn, this conference provides
valuable insights into appropriate pedagogy. The focus is
on translating the remarkable findings of brain science
into classroom practice and gaining an understanding of
the basic mechanisms underlying thought, emotions, and
behavior. Sessions include the arts, behavior, memory,
emotions, instruction/assessment, mind-body
connections, gender differences, childhood development,
brain changes during learning, mood/movement and
optimal learning states, social/emotional brain, multiple
intelligence, behavior and conscious experience,
cognition and emotion in childhood and adolescence, the
implications of the Genome Project for understanding
behavior, brain-compatible learning and assessment
methodologies, multisensory modalities as a classroom
tool to increase the brain's capacity to remember,
temperament and the development of social competence,
stimulating neurological development in the classroom,
and more. Neuroscientists and educators are paired as
presenters in most sessions to present brain research
and discuss practical teaching strategies based on that
research.
