Making Learning Stick (No Matter Where It Happens)

How can we engage students in deep learning, whether they're in school or at home? A good place to begin is with curiosity (which both primes students' brains for learning and makes it stick) and a deep understanding of how to create student learning experiences that reflect how students learn and how curiosity propels their learning each step of the way. In this session, you'll explore a simple learning model that you can use right away with your own students to give them learning experiences that both challenge and engage them.

During the webinar you'll

• Gain a deeper understanding of the science of memory, including how curiosity fuels deep learning.
• Learn a practical model for lesson design from the new ASCD book Learning That Sticks that supports curiosity and deep learning—whether students are in school or at home.
• Get practical tools you can use right away to create challenging and engaging learning experiences for your students.
• Recharge your "batteries" and get inspired to create joyful learning for all students.
