Brain-Targeted Teaching: A Tool for College Faculty?
"Although Mind Brain and Education Science (MBES) offers robust research informed practices for educators there is limited awareness and integration of MBES principles in community college teaching. Brain-Targeted Teaching (BTT) is a framework designed by Dr. Mariale Hardiman to help teachers implement neuroscience and related fields in their work. This qualitative study examined community college faculty’s perception of BTT as a tool to support implementation of MBES in their teaching. Participants engaged in a professional development experience that explored and modeled BTT and reported. The study found that participants made immediate change and planned to make change to their teaching as a result of their experience and perceived BTT to be a valuable tool. In this interactive session we’ll learn more about the BTT framework and examine the findings of this study."
