Dr. Ernie Mendes combines a unique blend of brain-friendly strategies for 9-12 teachers that will provide you with an array of immediately usable tools to engage diverse groups of learners. Turn student boredom into productivity by learning easy to apply strategies with little or no prep time.
Participants walk away from the training having experienced the practical aspects of learning and teaching through the context of research-based principles and classroom-tested strategies. The four key brain systems we will engage are the Cognitive, Social, Emotional, & Physical. You are the content expert—you know the what of learning. Ernie will show you the how of learning, the process of engaged learning. You can use these tools to increase engagement in any lesson you deliver across curriculum and grade levels.
