COGx Optmizes...
#1
How We Teach
Teaching is often disconnected from how students learn and too many students are forced to drop-out, struggle, and/or work too hard to do well (Hines, 2014).
#2
How We Personalize
The brain is always capable of changing in response to experiences and relationships (Darling Hammon & Cook-Harvey, 2018). Learners and educators should acknowledge and take advantage of this principle (Costandi, 2016).
#3
How We Learn
Learning is a scientific process, and for students to learn optimally they must be taught. This is true regardless of cognitive abilities and disposition towards learning (Bjork et al., 2013).
