LEAP Cohort 5 LEAP Into Action Conference

How can we as educators amplify the power of the mind to maximize outcomes for student learners? How can we utilize this information to transform our own lives, as well? This session provides some answers to these questions. It relies heavily on the science of neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to re-wire, grow, and reorganize) and mindset effects to inform recommendations for classroom implementation. The first half of the presentation focuses on a neuroplasticity super-protocol for education as described by Stanford University’s Dr. Andrew Huberman, complete with tools specific to the classroom. The second half of the presentation goes beyond Dr. Carol Dweck’s work with Growth Mindset into Dr. Alia Crum’s work with maximizing and intentionally using Mindset Effects to increase motivation, risk-taking, and proficiency in the classroom. This session is not only research-based but also offers a variety of practical, relevant, easily-implementable tools
