About the Education Mission

CBN has built a comprehensive education program consisting of precollege, undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral initiatives, as well as public education. The programs' goals include:

• Improving neuroscience education and literacy, particularly for metro Atlanta students;
• Recruiting and retaining women and underrepresented minoritites in neuroscience education programs;
• Increasing awareness of neuroscience and career opportunities in science;
• Providing K-12 teachers with innovative approaches to teaching science;
• Identifying best practices for teaching science through research on education curricula and theory.

In conjunction with these programs, CBN has developed an array of neuroscience resources and activities for teachers and students.
