Brain-Based Learning

Teaching the Way Students Really Learn

Many teaching methods unintentionally work against how students naturally learn. But when educators align their instruction with the brain’s inherent systems, learning becomes more engaging and longer-lasting. This dynamic session goes beyond old “brain-friendly” trends, bringing the latest research in cognitive neuroscience into real-world classrooms. Discover practical, student-centered strategies that help learners stay motivated, absorb new concepts more effectively, and retain what they learn—long after the lesson ends.

Liesl McConchie translates cutting-edge neuroscience into practical, easy-to-implement strategies that help educators create deeper connections, boost retention, and maximize learning outcomes.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Liesl will customize her message to align with your specific goals.

  • Understand how to apply lessons from cognitive neuroscience to solve daily classroom challenges.
  • Learn actionable techniques to enhance student engagement, learning, and retention.
  • Discover how to structure lessons in ways that align with the brain’s natural learning process.
  • Identify common teaching practices that may inadvertently hinder learning and how to replace them with more effective strategies.
  • Walk away with tools to create a brain-friendly learning environment that improves student success.
This workshop makes me so excited to implement brain-based strategies with my students and my own children. Thank you for making it all make sense to my teachers and staff. You have an incredible gift. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I have gained knowledge of how students, and my own brain, really works and how this means everything! I’ve learned how to build and maintain students' motivation, how to maintain their attention, and how you can really be sure they've gained any learning. Once again, I can say in a loud voice that I am proud to have chosen to become a teacher!
