The current education system is failing to prepare the next generation for our fast-paced, ever-changing world whilst leaving educators overwhelmed with the ever-increasing demands.
The in8model® is a simple and practical guide to understanding brain function and neuroplasticity. This knowledge empowers educators to create learning environments that cater for all parts of the brain. This revolutionises the way we educate our students for life long learning despite the outdated system we are asked to work within.
The in8model Educator Book is part of a broader program by in8Ed that empowers Educators with the knowledge of brain function and neuroplasticity, and provides them with the ability to adapt learning environments to cater for the different learning preferences of each student.
