Course Description: Teaching students how they think, learn and behave
empowers them to play an active role in their own learning. When
children with ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, oppositional
tendencies and disinterest in school are taught how to be “Cognitive
Scientists” coaching their own brains to plan, prioritize, attend
and remember, they become more invested in school and motivated to
learn. Taking the mystery out of executive functions by showing
students how to learn more efficiently while calming their defensive
brains leads to better concentration, improved attention, higher
academic achievement and competent social-emotional skills. In this
workshop, Lynne Kenney, Psy.D., pediatric psychologist, author and
international educator, will teach you how to integrate the newest
research in neuroscience, kinesiology and education for kids to learn
more efficiently. You will discover over 30 developmentally
progressive cognitive-exercises, worksheets and activities to enliven
your classroom. Learn how to improve cognition, enhance learning and
empower children to be better thinkers with motor movement,
sequencing, attending, self-regulation and memory activities.
