In this webinar, Jay McTighe and Judy Willis examine how the neuroscience of learning intersects with the Understanding by Design^® framework. Using ideas outlined in their new book, Upgrade Your Teaching: Understanding by Design Meets Neuroscience, they will explore

• What the brain needs in order to maximize learning that lasts;
• The different education goals of modern learning and their implications for teaching and assessment;
• The neuroscience behind developing and deepening students’ understanding; and
• Specific teaching techniques for hooking and holding students’ attention, constructing long-term conceptual memory, and developing learners’ executive functions.
