Learning Forward Alabama 27th Annual Meeting & Fall Conference
Join Dr. Marcia Tate, November 16-17, at the 27th Annual Learning Forward Alabama Annual Meeting and Fall Conference. Dr. Tate will be speaking presenting on her book, Worksheets Don’t Grow Dendrites - 20 Instructional Strategies that Engage the Brain.
If students don’t learn the way we teach them, then we must teach them the way they learn. Experience 20 brain compatible strategies that maximize understanding and memory. Use music, metaphor and movement to increase academic achievement for all students. Explore research that shows why these strategies are preferable to others. Ensure that brains retain key concepts, not only for tests, but for life!
