Classrooms today are not the same as they used to be. Innovative, effective teaching strategies are needed to help match the needs of our students. Part 1 of a 2-part series, this workshop is geared to equip educators, our main brain changers, with knowledge on how and why the brain impacts readiness to learn so they can help tap into students’ brains and make positive, lasting changes on learning and behaviour in the classroom. We discuss the neurological patterns seen in students’ brains and what makes classrooms in today’s age unique. Educators and administrators will leave this workshop feeling equipped with easy-to-implement strategies that can be used to help improve classroom behaviour and learning at its core. Teachers, principals, and district administrators, you won’t want to miss this one! This workshop will be of interest to preK through elementary teachers, learning assistants/EAs, and school and district leaders. Led by Dr. Laura Dieleman, BSc. DC.

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW:

Classrooms today are not the same as they used to be. Students are experiencing brain-based challenges and innovative, effective teaching strategies are needed to help match the needs of our students.

We’ve got the answers.

This interactive workshop incorporates movement, brain-based activities, live chat, and fun giveaways, so you never get bored!

IN THIS 2 HOUR WORKSHOP, YOU WILL:

ABOUT THE PRESENTER:

Dr. Laura Dieleman, BSc, DC, is a mother of three, a chiropractor by trade, and has done postdoctoral studies in functional neurology for the last 13 years with a focus on children with neuro-behavioural disorders. While in the midst of having three children, Dr. Dieleman developed a growing concern for the increasing challenges children around her were facing. Due to this, she shifted her focus toward neuro-behavioural disorders in children and found an incredible link between learning, movement, behaviour, and brain function.
