Brain-friendly instruction through cooperative learning structures

Tuesday, September 16th, 2003, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Speaker: Spencer Kagan

The brain readily learns information when presented through brain-friendly instructional strategies, but retains little when information is presented in ways contrary to the way the brain best learns. In this presentation Dr. Kagan presents five principles of brain-friendly instruction and how those principles can be implemented through simple instructional strategies called structures. In this presentation Dr. Kagan shows brain-imaging scans that demonstrate greater engagement when brain-friendly instructional strategies are used. Come deepen your understanding of the brain and of the revolutionary instructional strategies called structures. Structures such as Visualize Share, Take Off/Touch Down, and Categorizing will be demonstrated.
This presentation is part of the Dr. Spencer Kagan's Japan tour.
