HOW WILL WE LEARN?

  2. On October 11, the live Q&A features Dr. Mariale Hardiman on Zoom and includes a richer discussion of Executive Function & Embodied Cognition.  Teachers can submit questions in advance and/or during the session. 

This two-part event will provide VAIS educators with key takeaways and actionable teaching strategies for students of all ages and learning profiles.
