Participants will sample a wide range of practical presentation materials and formats that were developed specifically for this program, including a discussion-oriented Bible study and a variety of packages designed for parenting workshops, family retreats and Christian home seminars. The Brain Business Workshop participants engage in a humorous low-risk assessment of their knowledge regarding the human brain. A rationale for this field of study is established and a discussion about the field of neuroscience and its implications for educators ensues. Lecture format draws on participants' knowledge of brain physiology while extending this knowledge with information from research we currently have available. Through structured activities, participants laugh a lot while constructing a theory of how the brain works and funda mental implications for education.
Participants look at recommendations for brain compatible classrooms and schools.
