Module 4: Our changing brains

"The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice." - Brian Herbert

Goal: During this week students will learn about neuroplasticity, how the brain works, and how understanding these things can allow them to utilize study practices that support self-regulated learning.

Objective: At the end of module 4 students will be able to describe, in general, how the brain works using growth mindset as the underlying theory. They will also be able to list study strategies that support self-regulated learning based on how the brain works.
