Session 5: Harnessing the Profound Connection Between Emotion and Learning to Enhance the Success of All Students
Traditionally, cognition and emotion were believed to be independent systems; however, research in the cognitive and neurobiological sciences has shown that the relationship between cognition and emotion is both interdependent and extensive. This intimate and profound connection between emotion and cognition is leading to a number of insights that have the power to inform and transform educational practices at all levels. Come join us as we discuss how to harness this impactful connection between emotion and learning to make our college classrooms a safe and authentic place to learn and grow and where students feel empowered and motivated to do their best work.
