A year in review

Learn How COGx Supported MTC Member Schools’ Journey To Mastery

COGx has worked closely with administrators, teachers, and students from MTC member schools globally applying the Science of Learning to improve teaching and learning. Across a diverse range of schools, encompassing various types, sizes, and student age groups there was one common thread: the goal of answering the question- “How will teaching and learning change at our school to align with a mastery transcript?”.

Professional Development for Educators

Educators are far more effective at teaching what they know if they master how students learn. Yet, this formation is rarely included in per-service training or in-service training. Ignoring this does not set up educators or students to succeed. COGx closes this gap with a robust, flexible and proven program offering that can be customized to meet each organization’s needs. Through modules, expert coaching and guidance as well as application guides, educators learn how to design and deliver curriculum so students actually learn.

Short Programs for Educators

The following set of programs are 7-12 hours each and derived from the Developing Sophisticated Learners curriculum. Each consists of 3-4 self-led modules which are complemented with synchronous group collaboration, assignments, and workshops to support educators.

Introduction to the Science of Learning

Get an overview of the Science of Learning including evidence-based teaching practices and strategies. Hone your teaching practice by learning proven techniques and ensure students leave your classroom prepared for the ever-changing job landscape.

Processing Information: Foundation to Learning

Learn how to capture your students’ attention, address processing speed, and unlock the gateway to learning - working memory. Gain a toolbox of strategies that can be applied to your teaching.

Support Executive Function
Skills

Why are some students impulsive and procrastinate, while others have difficulty planning and organizing? Crack the code of Executive Function and unlock your students’ full potential.

Teach for Mastery


Why is most of what we learn forgotten? Why do students overestimate how well they know what you teach them? Gain a toolbox of strategies that will ensure your students remember what you teach them and can apply it to real-life.

Metacognition & Feedback

Did you know that one of the most effective ways to improve academic performance is by strengthening metacognition? Learn the “ins and outs” of metacognition, metacognitive strategies to embed alongside instruction, and ways to provide effective feedback.

Teach for Belonging & Wellbeing

On average, 1 out of 2 children suffer from trauma globally while student engagement decreases with every year of schooling. What does this mean for teaching and learning? Discover evidence-based methods to increase student engagement and foster student wellbeing.

Address Cognitive Diversity

How do you effectively engage and teach your twice exceptional students? How about those with language processing disorders? Learn how your student’s cognitive profiles affect their learning in your classroom and what strategies and systems you can put into place to effectively teach your diverse learners.

Program for Leaders

There is an art and a science to change management. To best support teachers and students in applying the evidence-based instruction through proven programs that distill the science of learning, school leaders benefit from support and coaching. In a mix of online modules and workshops, school leaders gain a high-level understanding of how students learn, the ability to be an effective advocate among stakeholders, and a toolbox of methods to support faculty.

In-Person & Virtual PD Workshops

We also offer customized workshops for your community on the topics listed above. Organizations may select the topics of interest, duration, desired date, and format (in-person or virtual).

Program for Students: Becoming a Sophisticated Learner™

Schools ask students to learn without explicitly teaching them how to do so effectively. Research reveals they rely on the least effective strategies to learn. This causes students to work too hard and/or underperform. An education is incomplete if we fail to teach our students how to learn optimally. COGx closes this gap by democratizing the science of learning for students with various versions of the program for middle school through college-level students.

In Partnership With Experts on Learning Science from...

COGx has been devoted to translating scientific research and evidence-based practice into accessible programs. They are rigorous in their approach and committed to applying research findings and evidence with fidelity. As a result, they are making great strides in changing the status quo in education to one that embraces scientific research on learning.
