Three educators from Rabat Middle School – Ms Olivia Cauchi Stivala, Ms Alicia Cauchi, and Ms Joanne Bondin – attended a 30-hour course in Budapest titled Neuroscience: Understanding How Your Students Learn. During this interactive course the participants deepened their understanding of the learning process, besides discovering how to integrate realistic neuroeducation strategies into their classroom and with their students. These strategies assure long-lasting retention of knowledge and the students are therefore more able to reach their full potential.

During the last day of the course the participants had the opportunity to implement some of the strategies learnt by designing and delivering a lesson incorporating memory techniques involving visualisation, elaboration and retrieval practices. At the end of the course the participants were presented with a certificate. It was a truly enriching experience for all, and they look forward to share the outcomes with their peers and educators from the College in the upcoming scholastic year.

This mobility was made possible thanks so St Nicholas College Accredition Grant, co-funded by the European Union.
