VCU-ACE Webcast: Finding the Fuel for Learning & Emotional Well-Being - Social Emotional Engagement

Description:

While standards-based instruction is our focus in the classroom, our learners are more likely to access the curriculum when they are “invested,” “independent” and “initiating” with their peers and teachers.  This webcast will begin with a review of the neuroscience of learning and shift toward a practical discussion of why we need to measure and enhance learner engagement.
