The Brainology® program teaches middle school students that their brain
is malleable, empowering them to take charge of their own cognitive
development. It motivates students to be active
learners. Based on the research of Stanford professor Carol
Dweck, Ph.D., the online program is designed to instill a growth
mindset in students through relevant neuroscience and approaches to
studying, all presented in an engaging way. Brainology was
awarded the CHADD Innovative Program of the Year
award.
