Education Week today publishes an article highlighting the work being done jointly by Johns-Hopkins University's Schools of Medicine (Brain Science Institute) and Education to bring discoveries about brain function in ADHD children into the classroom so that teachers can more adequately address their disabled students.
Called the Neuro-Education Initiative, the program is housed at the School of Education and funded by grants from the Brain Science Institute. Johns-Hopkins will be offering a 15 credit graduate certificate which "will provide educators with knowledge of cognitive development and how emerging research in the brain sciences can inform educational practices and policies."
