Event Description

-Teaching basic conceptual systems as a foundation for cognitive development and learning

Conceptual tools play an essential role in cognition as a tool for attention, thinking, learning and communication. Systematic Concept Teaching (SCT) is a newly material and approach developed by Andreas Hansen and Kelly Morgan. Building on the foundational work of Magne Nyborg, they have developed an amazing and comprehensive hands-on material ready to use in the work from preschool and up for a wide range of children and adolescents.
