Following a series of visits to St. Michaels University School last year, Dr. Jared Horvath returns to the Richmond Road campus on May 1 to speak to parents and families on a new topic around memory and attention in students.
Jared Horvath, an educator, author, and brain researcher, spoke to the SMUS community on October 1, 2024. He discussed new ideas about how our brains work and how these ideas can change the way we learn. Jared shared parts of his award-winning programs, The Learning Blueprint for Teachers and The Learning Blueprint for Students. Jared Cooney Horvath (PhD, MEd) is a brain scientist, teacher, and the author of the popular book Stop Talking, Start Influencing: 12 Insights from Brain Science to Make Your Message Stick. He has done research and given talks at Harvard University, Harvard Medical School, the University of Melbourne, and more than 1,000 schools around the world. Jared has written six books and over 50 research articles, and his work has appeared in magazines and shows like The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Economist, HBR, and PBS’s NOVA.
Supporting Your Child's Learning: Key Principles of Memory & Attention
Far from being unknowable and fickle, human memory and attention are very predictable and rule-bound systems. During this session, we will explore eight key principles of memory and attention, then draw these back to consider how we might best support our students as they study and learn (both at home and in the classroom). Deeply relevant and highly engaging, this session is for anyone who wants to optimize their child's learning potential and develop resilient, independent students.
