Webinars from ASCD

"Ask Dr. Judy" Series

Free webinars through ASCD in a regularly scheduled, "Ask Dr. Judy" Series. The webinars in the ongoing series are interactive and sustained with an ongoing discussion group at the free ASCD EDGE network discussion page called, How the Brain Learns http://edge.ascd.org/_How-the-Brain-Learns/group/110564/127586.html 

This free ASCD “EDGE” website discussion group is a place for you to ask questions, make comments, share your knowledge, or post lesson plans to share with colleagues and other educators from around the world.
  
 I'll look for questions or comments, especially those tagged in the title with, "Ask Dr Judy Question" that I'll often respond to on the website and/or in an upcoming Webinar. Other educators will also respond to your questions as we share ideas and resources. 

Next Free ASCD WEBINAR on Oct 14: ASK Dr. Judy Webinar Series: Strategies for Maximizing Student Memory
 
We all know that we learn from making mistakes, but did you know that participation and mistakes are the keys to memory and intelligence?
Learn classroom strategies that lower student resistance to active participation and how you can use the newest research about neuroplasticity, the dopamine-reward system, and active student participation (including making mistakes), to increase long-term memory.

Registration starts in late September for this free webinar (www.ascd.org/webinars)

Some students come to us already discouraged, with negative baggage about their own potential, school in general, or the subjects we teach. How can we change that negativity to motivation? The keys are discussed in this informative one-hour webinar that will include how to connect with students' curiosity, help them recognize incremental progress, and use other neurological strategies to reverse negativity and sustain a positive attitude.
