title = "Beyond Learning About the Brain: A Situated Approach to Training Teachers in Mind, Brain, and Education",
abstract = "The field of Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) has debated the strategies and merit of training teachers in principles of neuroscience. A previous study argued for groups of teachers to be trained as “educational engineers” capable of translating the work of cognitive neuroscientists and education researchers into practical application. While several teacher education programs currently offer MBE courses, we offer a program description of a “situated learning” model of MBE that brings teachers to a unique pediatric hospital with a focus on neurodevelopmental disabilities. The aims of the program are to train educational engineers capable of improving special education services through applications of MBE. Teachers participating in this program learn about neurodevelopment, behavior, models of scientific knowledge acquisition, as well as applications of educational law, policy, leadership, and instruction. This unique program may offer a way to develop competent educational engineers capable of improving education for students with disabilities.",

note = "Funding Information: During weekly Socratic seminars, fellows engage in an examination of common instructional practices through the lens of newly acquired information from the other core areas of study. This seminar helps fellows tie all of their fellowship experiences together into an examination of instructional practices best supported by MBE. In addition to weekly seminars, fellows have the opportunity to visit various school settings to practice observing and providing feedback on instructional practices through a neurodevelopmental lens. Fellows are also provided opportunities to observe and assist with MBE clinical staff training within the hospital and MBE teacher training in local school districts. Within this core area of study, fellows are charged with designing lessons, units of study, teacher professional learning activities, and MBE training materials.
