Healthy Minds, Healthy Learners is a two-part professional learning program designed to translate cutting-edge neuroscience into practical classroom strategies that enhance student wellbeing, engagement, and learning.
Across two interactive sessions, participants will explore the foundations of brain science (attention, memory, executive function, and self-regulation), the impact of technology and digital environments on young minds, and practical strategies to build resilience, inclusion, and healthy digital literacy in students.
The program balances research insights with hands-on application. Participants will engage in discussions, reflective activities, and action planning that connect neuroscience directly to their teaching practice and leadership roles.
By the end of the program, attendees will:
Understand how brain development shapes learning and wellbeing.
Be equipped with practical, neuroscience-informed strategies to support diverse learners, including those with additional needs.
Gain tools to promote healthy digital habits and critical AI literacy in students.
Leave with clear action plans, resources, and evaluation tools to embed strategies within their own school context.
This structured, evidence-inspired program offers both big-picture insights and immediately applicable practices, ensuring participants walk away with knowledge, confidence, and resources that can be sustained long after the sessions conclude.
Payment provides access to both days of the program. A video conferencing link will be provided prior to the start date. A Tax Invoice is provided upon payment.
Foundations of Neuroscience and Wellbeing – Introduction to Healthy Minds, Healthy Learners, program aims, outcomes, and relevance to school wellbeing priorities. – Core neuroscience concepts: brain plasticity, attention, executive function, and self-regulation, and why they matter for learning and wellbeing. – Understanding the impact of technology, AI, and social media on adolescent brain development, mental health, and cognitive functioning. – Implications for neurodiverse learners (ADHD, autism, learning differences), strategies for reducing cognitive load and fostering inclusion. – Reflection and discussion: applying neuroscience-informed insights to classroom practice.
Translating Neuroscience into Classroom Practice – Linking neuroscience to the Australian Curriculum – Practical teaching strategies: embedding attention supports, scaffolding executive function, and promoting resilience. – Digital wellbeing and AI literacy: building student capacity to critically evaluate technology, manage screen time, and develop healthy digital habits. – Building school-wide impact: leadership strategies, wellbeing champions, and sustaining a “neuro-education” culture. – Evaluation and monitoring: tools schools can use to measure progress and wellbeing outcomes. – Action planning: how participants will embed strategies into their own classrooms and leadership practice.
– Participant workbooks, enabling staff to consolidate learning, reflect, and share insights with colleagues. – Neuroscience “translation guides”, concise resources linking core concepts (attention, memory, executive function, self-regulation) with practical strategies. – Resource library, curated summaries of key research findings, recommended readings, and ready-to-use classroom activities. – Evaluation and reflection tools, including pre/post surveys to measure shifts in knowledge, confidence, and practice.
