1/17/2024, 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM

As a member of ISACS (Independent Schools Association of the Central States), The Fulton School is happy to offer to our parents a FREE one-hour Zoom webinar: A Tour Through Your Child's Brain: Development, Technology & Learning featuring Jared Cooney Horvath (a neuroscientist, author and educator).

From birth to adulthood, our children undergo many changes which can impact their behavior, cognition, and emotions.  During this webinar, we will journey through the developing brain and track how it changes across the lifespan (with a special look at the teenage years). Participants will gain a better understanding of why our children act as they do and consider concrete ways to support them cognitively and behaviorally at home. We will explore the impact of technology on development and learning, and we’ll learn three principles of learning to support our children as they study and learn at home. This webinar is for school-aged children, grades 1-12. Jared Cooney Horvath, PhD, MEd is a neuroscientist, educator, and author of the best-selling book Stop Talking, Start Influencing: 12 Insights from Brain Science to Make Your Message Stick. He has conducted research and lectured at Harvard University, Harvard Medical School, the University of Melbourne, and over 750 schools internationally. Horvath has published six books, over 50 research articles, and his work has been featured in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Economist, and PBS’s NOVA. He currently serves as director of LME Global, a team dedicated to bringing the latest brain and behavioral research to teachers, students, and parents.

You can watch it LIVE via Zoom or you can view a recorded version after the release date. Email Mrs. Douglass to receive the pre-registration link. Note: Mrs. Douglass’s Coffee Chat on Thursday, February 1 will be based on this webinar!
