Neural Education
I have been teaching English/Language Arts and Enumclaw High School for 11 years. I was first introduced to Neural Education in 2017 at the NCCE conference. I've always been interested in the learning process and the factors that contribute to our ability to learn and grow so I have been very lucky to become a part of Neural Education and continue not only studying the brain and it's amazing capacity, but also to share the science behind it and how it applies to the classroom.
