THE SCIENCE OF IMPROVING TEACHING AND SCHOOLS

The pandemic has highlighted many problems in the educational system, from inflexible schedules to bored students. A May 2021 survey by EdNC found that 43% of educators and parents want some school changes, 28% want significant changes, and 11% want a completely different learning experience after COVID. At the same time, brain and learning sciences are transforming teaching, classrooms, schedules, and learning spaces.

This conference will combine COVID lessons learned with the Science of Learning to create a new “Science of Teaching” to improve education. You will explore ways learning sciences, portable EEG devices, and researcher-teacher partnerships are changing teaching, as well as how design science is reshaping school schedules, start times, and learning environments. Discover ways to create more flexible, personal, engaging, and blended learning; use design thinking and instructional design; rethink grades, assessments, and leadership; and redesign learning spaces to improve learning.
