Neuroscience Meets Mentoring: Rewiring Teacher

Description:

Can mentoring combat teacher burnout? Our year-long study set out to answer this question by using a mentoring program design grounded in educational and neuroscience research. We’ll look at how we can use neuroplasticity, cognitive load theory, and negativity bias to influence teacher self-efficacy. This session shares research findings and offers actionable insights for administrators, coaches, and teachers. Join us to explore an innovative approach that merges science and mentoring. Revolutionize your leadership and school culture with evidence-based techniques.
