Brain Friendly Learning: Understanding State and Learning in an academic environment

Theme 2: Creative Learning Spaces (Virtual, Spatial & Cognitive)

Brief outline:

By applying the learning from this masterclass, participants will:

  • inject energy, enthusiasm whenever it is appropriate
  • design lessons and sessions that have great content and drive learners into the most appropriate states for that content
  • manage their own state in a heartbeat
  • lead the state of their learners, even when they are cynical or disengaged

Potential content:

  • why state is everything (well...almost!)
  • 2 key ways to change your state
  • anchoring - you, the learning and the room
  • state transitions

  • Richard Nugent, Kaizen Training
