Neuroteach Global offers 3- to 5-minute online mini-lessons that introduce research-backed teaching strategies. Users can pay for a 1-hour, 3-hour, or 12-hour course; the longest program, which results in a mind, brain, and education certification, costs $400. As part of the program, teachers apply the strategies the learn with their students and receive feedback from online coaches.
The goal is to help teachers understand and apply educational neuroscience—"the science behind how the brain learns, works, and thrives," said Glenn Whitman, CTTL's director.
CTTL is currently piloting the program with K-12 and higher education teachers across the country. In the first pilot, 91 percent of participants self-reported improved knowledge of applied educational neuroscience research, said Whitman. The research center plans to launch the first track of the program in January 2019, which they will cap at 1,500 participants, he said.
Transform your teaching with an innovative, flexible approach to understanding how your students’ brains learn, work, and thrive.
