Educational Development Program
Do you know how your neurological design influence the way you teach and how your learners learn?
Neuro-Link specializes in the neuroscience of learning. We help schools, colleges, and universities move performance forward by utilizing Neuro Agility Profile® assessments and learning solutions to drive learning results. Developing learners’ potential is our passion. We are the performance optimization partners of schools, universities, and educational institutions. We help them assess their learners’ potential with the NAP™ assessment and offer learning solutions to optimize their student’s performance, minimize learning difficulties, and learn how to learn. NAP™ assessments are useful tools to ensure learning practices are aligned with how the brain learns. The Neuro Agility Profile® assessments and learning solutions improve the quality of teaching and learning transfer. It also helps educational institutions obtain good results.
Program Overview
Assessments for Teachers:
The NAP™ Advanced+ assessment is done with teachers/lecturers to understand their neuro-design and how it will influence how they teach.
Assessments for Students:
The NAP™ Toolbox brain profile assessment is done with students to understand how uniquely the student prefers to learn and how their learning performance can be improved.
Student Debriefings:
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 easier, and faster, and how to align subject and career choices with the students’ neuro-design.
Teacher Training:
Based on the neuroscience of learning research, the following themes are covered:
- Learning implications of the brain
- Impact of people’s neurological design (potential) on learning
- Brain ergonomics (humanizing) the classroom
- Brain fitness activities to improve the transfer of learning
- Designing educational material according to the learning preferences of the brain
- Aligning subject and career choices with people’s neurological design.
- Learning strategies for students
- Emotional intelligence for the classroom
Student Training
Students do a learning strategies course to align their learning approaches with their unique neurological design (potential).
3 Phase Teacher Training
Phase 1: Neuroscience of Learning (1-2 days)
- How the brain works and learns
- Understand your unique neurological design and thinking preferences through your NAP™ Advanced+ assessment
- Understand the unique learning implications of the brain and how to accommodate it in the classroom
- 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 3: 12 Emotional Intelligence Competencies
- How emotional intelligence influences 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
- Emotional intelligence
- Leadership development
Phase 2: Learning Skills:
- General approach to learning
- Memory techniques
- Concentration skills
- Note-taking skills
- Reading approach
- Learning preferences and brain fitness
- Whole brain learning
Application Value of the NAP™ for Educators
Neuro-Link has developed the Neuro Agility Profile® for:
- Teacher/lecturer training – educating facilitators of learning to understand how these 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 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.
