WEBINAR: THE BRAIN AND LEARNING: BUILDING POSITIVE HABITS TO MAXIMISE STUDY AND LEARNING FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR
This webinar is in collaboration with Cork, Kilkenny, West Cork, Wexford and Waterford Education Support Centres
Getting off to a good start with your students matters. This course explores how the brain works and students’ learning strengths. It outlines practical ways that teachers can make every class a ‘learning to learn’ class, where students can practise strategies that enable them to study more effectively and ‘own’ their learning.
