SIEC Notes Fall 2017
About the Brain...
“One of the more relevant properties in the human brain when it comes to teaching students is neuroplasticity. This property allows the human brain to make new connections, develop whole new networks, and even remap itself…” ~Eric Jensen
The better educators can understand how the brain works, the better we can build relationships, facilitate learning, and help our students cope with challenges and trauma.
Across the country and certainly in Southern Indiana, an increasing number of students come to school dealing with trauma, stress, and poverty. This is at the same time that schools have elevated pressure to ensure student success.
At the SIEC, we’re realizing more and more how important it is for educators to have a basic understanding of how the brain learns, not only to assist our struggling students but also to greater impact learning. We are available to come to your school and offer this same understanding to your staff. Contact Julie at the SIEC for more information!

And for fun...
