Neuroeducation for teachers-Educational neuropsychology: Neuropsychological and psycho-pedagogical reports

This micro-credential is aimed at active teachers and professionals in the field of education (Early Childhood Education, Primary, Secondary and Vocational Training) who wish to deepen their understanding of learning from a neuropsychological perspective, with special interest in the interpretation and educational use of psycho-pedagogical and neuropsychological reports in their teaching practice.

• Use the reports as a tool to guide planning and the taking of appropriate educational decisions.
• Improve coordination and collaborative work with teaching teams, counsellors and families in processes of attention to diversity and educational inclusion.
