Putting Science into Action

This Institute is designed to provide educators with the opportunity to learn directly from primary neuroscience, cognitive, psychology, and education researchers about the brain, its functions, and factors that affect the learning process.  The goal of the Institute is to provide applications and practical strategies, based on this research, for educators to use to enhance student recall, learning, and success. The two day Institute will offer opportunity for group discussion and collaboration with researchers, neuroscientists and other interested educators.
