ABOUT THE 2025 WINTER WEBINAR SERIES

Belonging and the Brain: Creating the Conditions for Student Achievement

Join the Center for Transformative Teaching & Learning (CTTL) for its fifth annual Winter Webinar Series. During three thought-provoking sessions, attendees will explore the impact of Mind, Brain, and Education science (MBE) and Belonging (DEB) on the learning and teaching experiences. Facilitators will share research on both disciplines and unpack how understanding students from an academic and social perspective can help them reach their highest potential. Each webinar session will feature a special guest speaker and space for attendees to enhance their teaching practices using the CTTL’s MBE and DEB translation tools. Educators and school leaders of all levels and backgrounds are encouraged to attend.

TESTIMONIALS

The Winter Webinar Series was great - once again a wonderful illustration of how to consider the experience of another. I appreciated the physiological filter to what can be happening in a student who does not feel belonging, who feels under threat. This is why teaching and learning are about connection, commonality, and community.

“I am much more aware of ensuring all students feel a strong sense of belonging. I encourage all students and let them know that they can experience success.”

“Students feel calmer to start class and ready to learn.”

“I had a student who rarely spoke all year, suddenly become enthusiastically engaged to the point he was trash talking with me about knowing the right answers. It was awesome!”

“Students feel more confident that they can achieve their best even if they have found the subject difficult in the past.”

“Students are much more Motivated to try new things & make risk taking choices.”

Testimonials gathered from anonymous survey data where teachers report that their MBE training from the CTTL has led to significant changes in their practice.
