Today's guest on the 360 Podcast is Glenn Whitman, co-author of Neuroteach: Brain Science and the Future of Education and director of the Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning at St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Maryland.
In today's discussion, you're going to hear how neuroscience plays an important role in teaching and learning. Park Tudor's faculty read Neuroteach in the summer of 2018 and it has sparked important discussion about how teachers can use knowledge of how the brain works in order to maximize learning.
In This Episode
