Differentiation and engagement are hallmarks of brain-based learning. Individuals’ brains are unique and, consequently, have different needs and require different forms of engagement to learn best. By recognizing unique configurations of the brain, as well as how best to meet the needs of various individuals in your professional setting, you will create a richer and more responsive learning environment.
Part 1: Digital Presentation After attending a professional development conference as a representative for your team, the administration/management has asked you to disseminate the information you learned at the next staff/team meeting. Develop a 10-12 slide digital presentation for administration/management describing how differentiation and engagement, through brain-based learning, can be used in your current or future professional setting related to your program of study. In the presentation, include the following:
- An introduction of yourself and the audience in your current or future professional setting that would benefit from this information
- What differentiation is and how it relates to brain-based learning in your professional setting
- At least two strategies to bring differentiated brain-based learning into your professional setting
- What engagement is and how it relates to brain-based learning in your professional setting
- Minimum of two strategies to enhance engagement through brain-based learning in your professional setting
- Presenters Notes for each slide
Support your presentation with 2-3 scholarly resources on a final slide.
