Webinar: The 7 Levels of Learning: The Heart, The Brain, and Learning that Lasts – Why Children Must Feel Their Learning with Gavin McCormack!

Description of Webinar:  What does it truly mean for learning to last? In this thought-provoking webinar participants will explore a powerful framework Gavin developed while writing his book, Raising Resilient Children. Grounded in current neurological research and whole-child education, this session moves beyond traditional, didactic instruction to illuminate the full spectrum of how children learn—from initial exposure to deep reflection and emotional connection. Attendees will gain insight into how meaningful learning experiences are shaped not only by what children think, but by what they feel, and how educators can intentionally guide students through each level to foster resilience, engagement, and lasting understanding.

Proposed Audience:  This session is intended for all Montessori Educators and administrators.
