Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

If you wonder how King’s College London made it into the world’s top 25 universities … you likely also wonder about dividends from brains at work. It involves seizing opportunities ... as well as creating winning distinctives. 

In contrast ...  at less successful universities … some claim that students demand more and give less. Others blame higher education faculty for resisting changes that rejuvenate learning.

King’s stands out as a higher education campus that looks to opportunities for growth ... and then welcomes partnerships to make it happen.

Their golden status raises the question …  what makes any organization top among competitors? Here on King’s campus … the brain is at work to spotlight concrete ways that neuroscience discoveries … help to influence and change behavior.

Tired of seeing bored learners or leaders?

Just yesterday King’s new Dermatology and Molecular Medicine Research Laboratories were officially opened – the latest example of progressive partnerships to move forward in a single vision. Research initiatives at Kings reach across the pond in several significant American partnerships. As a result … American students currently form the largest cohort of the university’s international student body.  

Have you observed participants asleep or texting through lectures lately?

Added to King’s zest for collaboration … curiosity … and cutting edge research … two targets move this intellectual community into a winner’s circle.

1. Keen interest in dividends from the brain at work.
2. A consistent and innovative reach for excellence.

That’s also what will soon connect MITA Brain Based International Center to King’s with equally high expectations ... on May 9^th.

Thanks to funding from National Academy for Integration of Teaching and Learning – NAIRTL -  and to award winning research by Dr. Margaret Denny … professor at Waterford Institute of Technology …  along with Dr. John Wells and  Ms. Suzanne Denieffe … the MITA model for learning, leading, and assessment rejuvenation  will wing its way to engage faculty at King’s.

Perhaps Dr. Denny will share further wisdom after the May event ... about how leaders and learners solved problems of increasing  student drop-outs. Or maybe this European team of change agents ... will jumpstart a movement to rejuvenate sleeping universities. Could it happen where you work? 

How could one WIT-MITA team … talented as they are … help to raise motivation and achievement across entire university communities? Any one key question you would like to see addressed at Dr. Denny's mind-bending session at King's?
