Transform Your Teaching with Evidence-Based Neuroscience

Our Neuroscience for Teachers programme provides practical, classroom-ready applications of the latest brain research. Through interactive live webinars led by Professor Patricia Riddell, a Professor of Applied Neuroscience and chartered psychologist. You will discover how good teaching practices work with rather than against your pupils' brains.


This isn't theory for theory's sake. Every module addresses real classroom challenges and provides techniques you can implement immediately.

Flexible Modular Training

We recognise that every school faces different challenges. That's why we've designed six stand-alone modules that can be taken in any order, covering the core skills teachers need to both teach and manage the classroom effectively.

  • Module 1: Motivating and Engaging Pupils in the Classroom

    Discover how to motivate and engage a wide range of children, from understanding neurodiversity to creating psychologically safe learning environments. 


    Learn to work with individual differences in attention, apply self-determination theory, and develop effective goal-setting strategies that create a genuine learning mindset.


    6 webinars covering: Including neurodiverse children, creating psychological safety, understanding attention differences, developing motivation across developmental stages, using autonomy and competence to engage pupils, and effective goal-setting.

  • Module 2: Improving Memory by Understanding the Brain

    Help your pupils retain what matters. 


    Understand how different types of memory work in the brain and use this knowledge to prevent forgetting, support children with working memory challenges, and harness episodic and autobiographical memory for more effective learning.


    6 webinars covering: How memory works in the brain, the importance of forgetting, sensory and working memory bottlenecks, improving memory for detail, episodic and autobiographical memory, and using personal narrative for learning.

  • Module 3: Learning and Technology

    Harness neuroplasticity and understand how children actually learn. Explore the neuroscience of attention, cognitive load, and both conscious and unconscious learning. Discover when and how technology can genuinely benefit classroom learning.


    6 webinars covering: Neuroplasticity and neurostability, how children know what to learn, attention and learning, managing cognitive load, conscious and unconscious learning, and using technology effectively.

  • Module 4: Improving Educational Decision Making

    24 × 1.5-hour inDevelop better decision-makers for life. Understand the two decision-making systems in the brain, recognise biases and shortcuts, address unconscious bias, and help pupils make better decisions under pressure. Build trust in self and others.


    6 webinars covering: Fast and slow decision-making systems, biases and shortcuts, unconscious bias, decision-making under pressure, development of the self, and building trust.

  • Module 5: Improving Mental Health and Building Resilience

    Equip yourself to support pupils through difficult times. Differentiate between types of negative situations, understand the physiology of stress, help children respond emotionally more effectively, build better self-evaluations, and develop lasting resilience using evidence-based cognitive behavioural approaches.


    6 webinars covering: Differentiating negative situations, the physiology of stress, changing emotional responses, improving self-evaluations, and two complementary models of building resilience.

  • Free Bonus Module: Using Your Brain to Manage Challenges

    Included free when you book all five modules


    Bring everything together with practical techniques for managing challenging situations with pupils, colleagues, and parents. Build empathy, understand values, improve feedback, negotiate better, and develop your classroom leadership skills.


    6 webinars covering: What makes situations difficult, building empathy, understanding values, improving feedback, negotiating better, and being a great classroom leadership.

What Makes This Programme Different

01

Led by Experts in the Field

Our webinars are facilitated by Professor Patricia Riddell. We bring clarity, research rigour and high standards of excellence to the often misunderstood field of educational neuroscience.

02

Respects Your Professional Expertise

We don't teach teachers how to teach. You already know how to do that successfully. Instead, we help you understand why your best practices work, empowering you to choose the most effective techniques for different learners.

03

Immediately Applicable

Every webinar provides practical applications you can use in your classroom the next day. No vague theory, just evidence-based strategies that work.

04

Action Learning Projects

For each module, you will work in action learning groups to design, implement and assess a real intervention in your school. We support you throughout to ensure genuine impact and an instant return on your investment.

05

Interactive and Collaborative

Live webinars create opportunities to share ideas, discuss real challenges and experience those 'lightbulb moments' that transform practice.

06

Certificate of Completion

All participants receive a certificate upon successful completion of each module.

What Teachers Say About Our Training

I have loved the course, it has tested my knowledge and allowed me to ensure the best outcomes for my pupils.

I loved meeting other teachers and sharing ideas - also those 'lightbulb' moments.

Considering the different types of memory and using that knowledge to consider the content of my courses.
