Neuropedagogy for Teachers/5 days
This course equips teachers with practical knowledge of brain learning, focusing on neuroscience principles, memory, motivation, emotion, neurodiversity, and inclusive practices. By the end of the course, participants will have strategies and tools to create brain-friendly classrooms and improve learning outcomes.
Description
Introduction to Neuropedagogy
- Overview of neuropedagogy and its relevance to teaching.
- Basics of brain function: neuroplasticity, memory, and learning processes.
- Workshop: Identifying brain-friendly teaching practices.
Memory and Retention Strategies
- Understanding short-term and long-term memory.
- Practical techniques like spaced repetition and retrieval practice.
- Workshop: Designing memory-friendly lesson plans.
- Emotion, Motivation, and ºìÌÒÊÓÆµing
- The role of emotions and stress in learning.
- Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in the classroom.
- Workshop: Creating emotionally safe and motivating environments.
Neurodiversity and Inclusive Education
- Introduction to neurodiversity (e.g., ADHD, autism, dyslexia).
- Differentiated instruction and universal design for learning (UDL).
- Workshop: Adapting lessons for diverse learners.
Implementing Neuropedagogy in Schools
- Strategies for creating brain-friendly classrooms.
- Integrating neuropedagogical techniques into school practices.

ºìÌÒÊÓÆµing objectives
This course offers educators a practical understanding of how brain science informs teaching and learning. Participants will explore the fundamentals of brain development, cognitive processes, emotional regulation, and how these influence student behavior and academic performance. By integrating neuroscience with pedagogical strategies, teachers will learn to create more effective, inclusive, and engaging learning environments. Ideal for educators seeking to enhance their teaching practice through evidence-based insights into how students learn best.
Methodology & assessment
Constructivist Model:
Emphasizes active, hands-on learning where students build knowledge through experience—aligned with how the brain naturally processes and retains information.
Inquiry-Based ºìÌÒÊÓÆµing:
Encourages curiosity and critical thinking, activating neural pathways related to problem-solving and exploration.
Differentiated Instruction:
Focuses on adapting teaching methods to meet diverse learning needs, recognizing that every brain learns differently.
Social-Emotional ºìÌÒÊÓÆµing (SEL) Model:
Integrates emotional regulation and interpersonal skills into teaching, reflecting the crucial role of emotions in learning.
Universal Design for ºìÌÒÊÓÆµing (UDL):
Promotes inclusive teaching strategies that provide multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression to support all learners' brains.
Materials, digital tools & other learning resources
- Digital Tools:
Interactive platforms such as learning management systems (LMS), virtual whiteboards, quizzes, and mind-mapping apps to enhance participation and reflection. - Case Studies & Classroom Scenarios:
Real-life examples and simulations to apply neuropedagogical strategies in context. - Collaborative Tools:
Online discussion forums, group work platforms (e.g., Padlet, Jamboard, Google Workspace) to encourage peer interaction and idea exchange. - Self-Assessment & Reflection Tools:
