BRAINSCIENCE


 * __ BRAINSCIENCE __**



 ﻿ Have you ever 'lost it'? Have you ever done or said something and then later wished you hadn't? Have you ever asked a pupil, 'Why did you do that?' only to be faced with a shrug or a 'Dunno!'. This may be down to the child's brain development. This session on Brainscience is a fairly light, educational practitioner's view of how the brain 'works' and why knowing this is important for understanding learners' behaviour and learning patterns. **__OUTCOMES FOR BRAINSCIENCE __**
 * Gain a brief overview of how the brain is constructed and what the different parts of the brain do.
 * Review what is meant by an 'Amygdala Hijack'.
 * Explore what happens in a baby's brain and in a teen brain.
 * Explore how brain development impacts on learning and how we can support learning and behaviour in the classroom.

This session links neatly with Restorative Practice which offers some practical means of implementing this learning in the classroom.
