We are COGx
We are Advancing the Science of Learning: From Research to Practice
COGx was founded to address one of the most persistent gaps in education:
the disconnect between what research shows about how people learn and how teaching is actually designed and delivered.
Our work is grounded in direct collaboration with leading researchers in cognitive science, education, and applied learning, and in the translation of more than 1,500 research studies into practical tools for educators and learners.
Our Vision
An education wherein every student is taught how to learn efficiently, effectively and independently for life; while every educator is empowered to teach by mastering the science of learning.
The Learning Framework
A Holistic Approach to Developing Lifelong Learning Skills
The Science of Learning offers a compelling body of research from cognitive science on how people learn. COGx distills and translates this research into practical classroom applications that improve teaching and learning in every school, for every student. While many schools aspire to cultivate higher-order thinking skills, such as critical thinking and creativity, few take a holistic approach to developing the foundational skills necessary for students to become independent and effective lifelong learners.
