Professional Learning Workshops 2022: Science of Learning (Janet Farrall)
In Terms 2, 3 and 4, the workshops will be offered remotely via Microsoft Teams in two x 2 hour workshops per term, 5.00pm-7.00pm. No workshops were offered during Term 1, because of the uncertainty surrounding Covid in our schools.
This evidence-informed professional learning course for educators, F- 12, is based upon a variety of models developed through research into the Science of Learning, for example, Rosenshine (2012), Learning Scientists (2015), PowerfulTeaching (2021) and PENS: Psychology, Education, Neuroscience (2021).
Strategies for increasing learning outcomes for the diverse range of students we encounter will address the application of cognitive science to learning in our classrooms.
