Every educator who attends a conference like this wants to be able to walk into their classroom the very next day and implement the great ideas they've learned. This session is designed to give educators immediate and doable teaching principles that have been shown to have lasting effects on learning and motivation for all students within an inclusive classroom. I will describe how each of the 12 principles of Psychology, Education and Neuroscience (PEN Principles: SLRC.org.au) can be implemented in classrooms and I will explain the science and research that supports their use. For example, PEN Principle #1: Written Text and Spoken Word Don't Mix. Did you know that every time you speak in your classroom that your students' brains are not able to stop reading the text that may appear on the board behind you? This confuses the brain and leads to divided attention and intake. Did you know that there is an optimal time to hand out your assignments and then speak about them? Did you know that vision trumps all other senses and your brain loves to utilize images to learn new material? Your brain knows and you should too! These PEN Principles are based on the science of learning and development and have been demonstrated through research to have lasting effects on learning for all students. The good news is that you can walk out of this conference today and implement these principles tomorrow!
