Neuroscience should be taught in Australian Primary Schools. – Dr Michael Hewitt-Gleeson
On Friday, 16th August 2024. To launch this project Dr Michael Hewitt-Gleeson, co-founder SOT, has agreed to design an introductory training program for teachers called Neuroscience 101. It will be a foundational professional learning course designed for teachers, especially those who wish to teach neuroscience to kids in primary schools.
It explores how we think about thinking, introducing key neuroscience concepts like neuroplasticity. Based on Dr Hewitt-Gleeson’s bestselling books Software For The Brain and The Fourth Brain, this online course empowers educators to bring neuroscience into the classroom and spark curiosity in young minds. Participants can learn how the brain works—and why every teacher should teach it.
This training will be located, on commencement of the 2024 school year, here at Australia’s leading online teaching resource for educators at https://cool.org/course/neuroscience-101-getting-started
