Researcher speaks at learning conference

Brisbane Water Secondary College will hold a learning conference on Wednesday, April 4, featuring guest speaker Mr Mark Treadwell at Avoca Beach Surf Club.

Mr Treadwell is an internationally renowned educational researcher from New Zealand and will focus on the future and neuroscience of learning.

His educational research is based on current issues that teachers face when developing a classroom's deep understanding and knowledge of course content.

Treadwell's work on how the brain learns has changed teaching styles and improved program development.

Treadwell will highlight the importance of technology as a learning tool and demonstrate the needs of 21st century learners.

The conference will outline how the changing of teaching culture and attitudes of teachers can lead to a significant impact on student engagement and conceptual development.
