Opening the Door to Learning for All Children
Deborah J. Stipek, Dean & Professor of Education at Stanford University says, "Neuroscience is beginning to unravel the mysteries of learning and memory, while illuminating the wondrous uniqueness in every learner." In order for educators, parents, and others interested in learning, attention, and memory to find out about the latest research and discussion, conferences have been scheduled in California and Massachusetts. Learning & the Brain conferences will be held in San Francisco, February 7-9, 2008 and in Cambridge, April 26-29, 2008. Sponsors include Stanford University, Harvard Graduate School of Education, Yale University School of Medicine, The Dana Foundation, University of California at Santa Barbara, National Association of Secondary School Principals, Sargent College, and Boston University.
