BRain-centric Instructional Designer
The Neuroscience of Learning's unequaled individual communication advancement is the BcD Certified Brain-centric Instructional Designer (BcID).Deeply understand how the brain processes new information and how the human brain loves to learn and apply this framework to all communications immediately.
Cohorts are presented in our psychologically safe learning space, within the BcD model asynchronously as well as a group each week for fourteen weeks. You will explore two new BcD online Challenges weekly at your own pace, reflect on your observations, and report out in our live weekly Cohorts.
-Advance Your Knowledge
As BcID graduates, you will have negotiated a paradigmatic shift into a cognitive thinking methodology that facilitates customer learning, increases student retention, and enhances learners' deep understanding. This cognitive space is the highest degree of excellence in the educational endeavor – when the student gains agency, a sense of belonging that promotes a positive growth mindset, and purpose for what and why in their learning process.
-The Science of Learning
BcID graduates inhabit a field called the "Science of Learning," grounded in brain-based outcomes that focus on how people learn and how the human brain works. Rich Carr, BcID, and cognitive neuroscientist, Dr. Kieran O'Mahony work with educators in fields as broad as k-12, neural diverse individuals, adult learning, consultants, communicators, and corporate HR training and talent development departments.
-Specialized Intellectual Instruction
In the past few decades, learning scientists working with neuroscientists have made astonishing discoveries about the neural aspects of the human brain and how it learns. At BcD, we translate these discoveries into a practical teaching system utilizing cognitive frameworks that deliver powerful teaching and learning improvements for industry learners. Instructional Design experts thus, enable all individuals to reach their potential. Results are always significant and often breathtaking.
