I’m pretty excited to offer an opportunity to attend a meeting to look at brain research and how it can\/should impact a classroom. All are welcome and it’s\u00a0free<\/strong>, but space is limited so shoot me an email if you’d like a spot. mralphoe[at]olatheschools[dot]org<\/p>\n

\"Workshop<\/a><\/p>\n

Knowing and learning are not the same thing. Brain research has demonstrated repeatedly that the process of learning is distinct from what it means to know a concept. The traditional view of education focuses on learning processes but often neglects the skills required to know a topic afterwards. This has inexorably led to a linear view of curriculum, with teachers marching through content and providing carrots and sticks to elicit compliant students within their daily activities.<\/p>\n

Join a workshop that offers a change in that paradigm. Learn what current research on brain physiology says about the best way to come to know something in the classroom. Discuss with other colleagues and current high school students alike what the impact of this cognitive research should be in a classroom. Be an active participant in a new kind of classroom that eliminates the trappings of the old paradigm.<\/p>\n

Experience what it\u2019s like to trash your notes following a lecture. Hear from students who create their own homework assignments and complete them without ever using the word \u201cpoint\u201d or \u201ccredit\u201d. See how a fundamental shift in the approach to learning and knowing leads to 4 graded tasks a semester (FOUR!). Observe\u00a0how a focus on building competency leads to natural differentiation of instruction.<\/p>\n

Steve Young, the Anatomy and Physiology teacher at Olathe East High School, will be facilitating a free workshop to explore a new way to think about education. Bring nothing but a willingness to consider new ideas. All you have to lose is the old way of thinking.<\/p>\n

Session Details:<\/p>\n

Room 105, 14545 W. 127th<\/sup> St. Olathe KS, 66062<\/p>\n

April 18th<\/sup> from 8:30a-1:00p<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
