Cultivating connections for student learning: Relationships that spark understanding

A conversation with Dr. Mays Imad (Facilitated by Dr. Armin Yazdani, OSE)

Join us for an online session with neuroscientist and educator Prof. Mays Imad as she explores how relationship rich teaching nurtures meaning, sparks insight, and sustains learning. Drawing on her research in neuroscience and motivation, Mays will share with us how caring, connected classrooms help students make sense of complexity, experience “aha” moments, and build lasting understanding.

Read some of Mays’ recent publications in The Teaching Professor:

• Teaching for Meaning: How Neuroscience Informs Connected, Relevant, and Coherent Learning
• Teaching for Replay, State, and Sustainability: Making Learning Stick, Settle, and Endure
