Educators are brain changers through the learning experiences they create. They are neural architects working with students/clients. Having informed knowledge about the brain is critical to maximise learning and wellness.
In this unit, you will learn how our social brain connects with others in ways that are core to our existence. You will learn about neurobiological fundamentals, how neuroplasticity drives the development of neural networks in learning and memory, the role of stress responses in learning, and how sleep, nutrition and movement are critical to a healthy brain.
You will gain neuroscientific insights into contemporary and emerging evidence-based findings to enhance your practices and create optimal learning environments that underpin achievement and wellness.
