| Description: | Brain research is constantly providing new revelations about how the brain works and how we all learn. We now have a much more solid foundation on which to base educational decisions. While many current educational practices fit well with the research, others run counter to what we are learning and pose significant challenges to those who work in schools. The speaker, Pat Wolfe, will provide a clear explanation of the most educationally significant research developments and will show how this research can be translated into everyday practice. Pat Wolfe is a former teacher of Kindergarten through 12th grade, county office administrator, and adjunct university professor. Over the past 20 years, as an educational consultant, she has conducted workshops for thousands of administrators, teachers, boards of education and parents in schools and districts throughout the United States and in over 50 countries internationally. Her major area of expertise is the application of brain research to educational practice. Her entertaining and interactive presentation style makes learning about the brain enjoyable as well as practical. She is an award-winning author and has appeared on numerous videotape series, satellite broadcasts, radio shows, and television programs.
