Do you know how your neurological design influence the way you teach and how your learners learn?

Do you have an emotionally intelligent approach when you teach?

Do you want to improve your knowledge and skills in the neuroscience of learning, so you can offer cutting edge education that will prepare learners learn faster and smarter? 

Neuro-Link specializes in the neuroscience of learning. We help schools, colleges and universities move performance forward by utilizing neuroscience assessments and learning solutions to drive learning results . Developing learners’ potential is our passion.

Neuro-Link is the neuroscience of learning partner of schools, universities and educational institutions. We offer them a predictive analyses of people’s learning potential and solutions to optimize learning performance of their students. It ensures their learning practices are aligned with neuroscience research improving the quality of teaching and obtaining even better results.

OVERVIEW OF SERVICES
Neuro-Link serves educational organizations as follows:
1. Assessments for teachers – The NAP™ Advanced+ brain profile assessment is done with teachers/lecturers to understand their own neurodesign and how it will influence the way they teach.

2. Teacher training – based on neuroscience of learning research, the following themes are covered:

  • learning implications of the brain
  • impact of people’s neurological design on learning
  • brain ergonomics (humanizing) the classroom
  • brain fitness activities to improve transfer of learning
  • designing educational material according to the learning preferences of the brain
  • aligning subject and career choices with neurodesign. learning strategies for 21st century learners
  • emotional intelligence for the classroom

3. Assessments of students – the NAP™ Toolbox brain profile assessment is done on students to understand how uniquely the student prefers to learn and how their learning performance can be improved.

4. Student debriefing – A group debriefing is held with parents of students to help them understand how the student prefers to learn, how they can assist the student learn better and easier and how to align subject and career choices with the students’ neurodesign.

5. Student training – Students do a study skills course to align their learning strategies with their unique brain profile.

Teacher Training:

There are 3 training phases for teacher training:

  • Brain integration techniques to improve the transfer of learning
  • 7 Drivers that optimize brain performance in the classroom
  • 3 Combinations of brain integration techniques for the classroom
  • Create a brain friendly learning environment

PHASE 2: LEARNING SKILLS (1 Day)

  • General approach to learning
  • Memory techniques
  • Concentration skills
  • Note-taking skills
  • Reading approach
  • Learning styles & brain fitness
  • Whole brain learning

PHASE 3: 12 EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE COMPETENCIES (1 Day)

  • How emotional intelligence influence a learner’s ability to learn
  • Evaluate your 12 emotional intelligence competencies
  • Develop a plan of action to optimize your emotional intelligence competencies
  • How you can develop emotional intelligence skills while teaching your subject

APPLICATION VALUE OF OUR BRAIN PROFILES TO PROFESSIONALS IN EDUCATION

You can’t improve what you can’t measure.

Neuro-Link has developed the Neuro-Agility Profile™ Toolbox for:                          

  • Teacher/lecturer training – educating facilitators of learning to understand how these 13 neuro-agility factors will influence their style of learning transfer as well as that of their learners and aligning their learning transfer to be inclusive of all learning preferences.
  • Subject and career choices – parents, children, students, educational psychologists, teachers, remedial teachers and career psychologists will be able to make more informed subject and career choices with a predictive analyses, aligning their neurological design with the choices they make.
  • Learning performance optimization – learners will accelerate their learning and obtain better results when identifying their unique learning preferences and aligning their preferences with obtaining appropriate learning strategies and skills.
RECOMMENDATIONS

Getting to know your staff’s unique neurological wiring is one of the most crucial aspects of effective human resource management. As a School Principal it was one of the most important human development sessions our staff has done for years.

Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of teachers as well as where their passions lie, made me understand how every member functions best. Dr Vermeulen’s Neuro-Link brain profiles made my job so much easier.
