Principal speaker
Mr Jared Cooney Horwath
After being one of our most popular presenters at the PDN 2019 Conference, you won't want to miss hearing Jared Horvath, Educational Neuroscientist from Melbourne University, present at this Workshop!
Overview:
How does the brain work to make sense of reality, and what impact does this have on teaching & learning? During this engaging and interactive session, we will explore the often counter-intuitive foundations of thinking, the power of stories to drive perception, the role errors play in comprehension, and consider how these three concepts tie together to drive student learning. Buckle in - here's where things get real!
Presenter: Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath (PhD, MEd) is a neuroscientist, educator, and author of the new book Stop Talking, Start Influencing: 12 Insights from Brain Science to Make Your Message Stick. He has conducted research and lectured at Harvard University, Harvard Medical School, the University of Melbourne, and over 150 schools internationally.
