Learning & Brain Conference in Boston

April 2, 2008 by Alvaro Fernandez

The next Learn­ing & the Brain con­fer­ence edi­tion is April 26–29, 2008, in Cam­bridge, MA. We rec­om­mend it high­ly for edu­ca­tors inter­est­ed in learn­ing more about lat­est brain research find­ings and impli­ca­tions for teach­ing. See Detailed pro­gram.

Descrip­tion: Cog­ni­tive neu­ro­science has dis­cov­ered that the brain is not ‘hard­wired’ from birth, but holds a remark­able life­long pow­er to change—a phe­nom­e­non called ‘plas­tic­i­ty.’ Pos­i­tive or neg­a­tive envi­ron­ments, exer­cise, nur­tu­rance, learn­ing, and oth­er expe­ri­ences con­tin­ue to change the brain through­out life.

These rev­o­lu­tion­ary find­ings point to new pos­si­bil­i­ties for ‘rewiring’ the brain to help over­come learn­ing dis­or­ders and to enhance mem­o­ry, learn­ing, IQ and achieve­ment in all learners.

- Brain-based teach­ing for chil­dren, ado­les­cents and adults
— How stress and ear­ly adver­si­ty shape brains and lat­er learning
— New insights into read­ing and math dis­or­ders and interventions
— Influ­ences that change the brain and affect learning
— Cut­ting-edge envi­ron­ments, tech­nol­o­gy and insights into adult learning
— Tech­niques for treat­ing mood, ADHD, stress and learn­ing problems
— How the brain can be retrained to improve atten­tion and memory
— The role of brain plas­tic­i­ty in resilience, empa­thy and teaching
Reg­is­tra­tion fees: the gen­er­al reg­is­tra­tion fees are $525 per per­son, if you reg­is­ter before April 14th, 2008.

Spe­cial Dis­count for Sharp­Brains read­ers: you can reg­is­ter for $495 before that date,  mak­ing sure to write
SharpBrains1 in the com­ments sec­tion of How did you hear about the con­fer­ence? in this Reg­is­tra­tion Page.

Our co-Founder Dr. Elkhonon Gold­berg will be pre­sent­ing a cou­ple of pan­els on cog­ni­tive fit­ness, so make sure to attend his pre­sen­ta­tions if you end up attending!

    Please let me know how I can get a cer­tifi­cate of atten­dance sent to me ASAP. I attend­ed the con­fer­ence two months ago, and my dis­trict won’t reim­burse me until I can pro­vide them with a copy. They are get­ting after me for the end of the year bills. HELP!!!
