The Minnesota Association for Children's Mental Health (MACMH)
Welcomes Eric Jensen to Twin Cities
Eric Jensen, co-founder of the world's first brain-compatible academic residential program, will present a day-long workshop in Oakdale, Minn., on February 26, 2008, titled “Fragile Brain Learning Recovery: Improving Both Behavior and Student Achievement.” Jensen will relate leading-edge brain research that gives educators highly practical, classroom-tested tools for proven student achievement. More than 40 percent of students chronically struggle with learning or behavior issues, which can significantly contribute to academic difficulties. However, recent evidence from both brain and behavioral research suggests that more than 90 percent of all adverse conditions and disorders can be treated successfully.
In this workshop, Eric Jensen will describe the startling links between the latest brain/mind research and then discuss a practical, real-world instruction program that highlights the proven strategies that can be used with struggling and/or hard-to-reach students. During this day-long workshop, Jensen will specifically focus on students who have learning problems such as central auditory processing and behavioral problems such as AD/HD, oppositional disorder, and conduct disorder. He will also spend time discussing how stress affects a child’s brain development, processes, and ability to learn.
A pioneer in the field of brain-compatible learning, Jensen was the founder of the first educator conference on brain-based learning (Learning Brain Expo). Jensen is a longtime member of the Society for Neuroscience, The New York Academy of Sciences and the President’s Club at the Salk Institute of Neuroscience, one of the highest rated neuroscience research facilities in the world. Most importantly Eric Jensen has a real love of learning and has been a classroom teacher, an adjunct university professor, and corporate trainer. |
