Developing 21st Century Minds After School - For Better Achievement in School
About This Webinar
Research over the last few years suggests that afterschool or out-of-school programs can have an impact on students' academic achievement. But what are the best tools and approaches? What can be done to help students be better prepared for in-school learning? How can afterschool programs help develop critical thinking skills? What tools are available that can drive better academic results without teaching to the test? This webinar will explore practical and effective approaches that give students experiences that are different from what happens during the school day and that can measurably improve everything they must do during the school day.
Agenda
- Helping students learn to learn. Developing the cognitive skills essential for learning in an easy-to-implement program that's fun, effective and supported by peer-reviewed published research and studies in n afterschool settings.
- Developing critical thinking skills. Helping students become aware of their mental models and practice various modes of reasoning.
- Exploring the implications of technology, including the use and impact of social media tools.

I like to describe myself as a "recovering" educator, but the truth is that I am more excited than ever about what neuroscience is uncovering about the brain and how we can use that information to enable each individual to reach his or her cognitive potential. I'm here to share what I've been learning over the last ten years and to continue learning from others in this amazing and fast developing field.
