Over the past decade or so, studies have proliferated around everyday brain activity and function, not just the incidences outside the confines of the norm. While the work of neuroscientists can serve to inform our work, we should not forsake our own fields of education, guidance and psychology ~ which have abundant research offerings regarding the teaching~learning intersection." ~ Robert Greenleaf, Ed.D., President , Greenleaf Learning Topics Include: ADD - ADHD Cognitive development Emotions and Learning Memory & Recall Multisensory processing Natural Learning Systems Neuroanatomy Reading Disorders Is your faculty looking for the latest in cutting-edge learning and brain research to incorporate into their teaching practices? Is your school looking for a high-quality, low-cost professional development event for its 2009 Opening Faculty Meeting? The CAIS Summer Institute was created to offer ideas, applications and knowledge regarding the latest research coming from the neuroscience field. Practitioners, educators, researchers and psychologists will come together to interact around exciting potentials for impacting the teaching-learning intersection on behalf of learners today. Strategies for classroom use will be offered along with opportunities for discussion, exchange of ideas and networking. Presented jointly by CAIS, Greenleaf Learning and the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives, the Institute's goal is to provide information, applications and practical strategies based on research to enhance student recall, learning, and successful performance.
