About the course - A Holistic Brain-Based Approach to Education

Start the year off doing education differently, with the Daily Dozen for Wellbeing, Teaching & Learning.

Covering 12 Brain-Based Holistic topics to help you teach the WHOLE CHILD using more engaging, empowering, enjoyable and effective teaching & learning strategies. This full-day event will be presented by one of Australia's leading educational neuroscience specialist teachers, social emotional learning consultant and TEDx speaker, Tammy-Anne Caldwell.

It is now widely-recognised as a ‘no-brainer’ that all teachers benefit by gaining a strong understanding of how their students’ brains work, learn, remember and grow BEST.

This practical professional learning event doesn’t just provide you with that knowledge in a fun and memorable way; it is also highly practical, full of real-life examples from the classroom, shared by a teacher who has been using this knowledge for 12 years, in primary and secondary classes. 

Tammy-Anne and Todd will present using the exact techniques you can use the next day in your own classroom!

When teachers use cutting-edge brain-science & psychology in our classrooms, we allow ourselves and our students to flourish. This workshop gives you the confidence to easily plan and teach lessons that lead to less-stressed and better-behaved students, who are more engaged and motivated, and who learn and remember more effectively.

This course covers an approach at the very forefront of the future in education, with links to ACARA's Personal and Social Capabilities, as well as addressing all seven AITSL standards.  It connects with STEAM, PBS, SEL, PERMA, Pos Ed, Visible Learning & Mind-Brain Education.
