What Educators Are Saying

"Graded is using the COGx professional learning resources as we take our deep dive into the science of learning. The rich and thoughtfully developed curriculum is powerful. It is easily accessible for teachers. The translation of the science of learning is essential so that we can make "Monday morning" sense of the work. COGx delivers in every way to this end."
Richard BoernerSuperintendent, Graded School (Sao Paulo, Brazil)
COGx is the finest example I’ve encountered of cutting edge research applied to educational methodology. All educators should be required to learn effective strategies to develop the foundational cognitive skills students need to engage in the critical thinking and creative problem solving that 21st century education demands.
Sara EdwardTeacher with Masters in Education from Johns Hopkins University
“The COGx program on the science of learning allowed me to understand and connect the theory to the actions I needed to take to improve my teaching. COGx expertly combines theoretical understanding with application in a balanced way unlike online courses that are detached from the practice of teaching or advice that is detached from the science and theory. I could not have improved my teaching without both ingredients. I highly recommend this to anyone committed to their students' success.”
Marco GonzalezScience Teacher, San Diego, California
“The information and way in which it is taught is very relevant to me and my students. I particularly liked the way the program used the strategies such as spacing and interleaving allowing me to see the strategies at work and learn by doing.”
Becky StantonTeacher, Boston, Massachussetts

We Practice What We Teach

Our programs incorporate the scientific principles of human learning into our instructional design. Learning is active, engaging, collaborative, and application-based. Invigorate your lesson planning with science-based tools that will enable your students to master what you teach. Carefully designed program elements and ongoing guidance and support empowers educators and students to apply what they've learned.

Support Executive Function Skills

As educators, we know the critical relationship between executive function and learning success well. However, it can be quite challenging to teach executive function. COGx programs presents ways to support all students in the classroom before, during, and after learning. Educators are enabled to crack the code of executive function and target skill development to unlock their students’ full potential.

Our Impact
0 /10

educators said they felt enabled to identify & connect the role of specific cognitive skills required for executive function behaviors

0 %

educators said they feel capable to identify and improve executive function in the classroom

What Educators Are Saying

" To start off with, I do feel more comfortable with the material presented during this module and specifically the "self-monitoring executive function skill", where I can help my students apply strategies to self-monitor their progress to reach their goals. During the module, I came across different student cases that showed executive dysfunction due to poor or no reflection. For instance, Noah's case was very much related to certain students I had in mind that tend to have similar experiences."
Zayn AsherEducator, COGx Partner School
"I learned the different symptoms of dysfunctional Executive Functions and why they occur. I will not judge the students anymore and tell them to focus. I will immediately change the instructional strategies to cater to the different learning styles in the classroom."
Dina BrownEducator, COGx Partner School
“The Executive [Functioning] Skills have helped me to see the exact steps a learner goes through when completing a task. Now, I can… help the learners… through the process of learning.”

Leverage Working Memory

It is difficult to identify a learning task that does not rely on working memory, the ability to mentally juggle information. Our programs enable educators to become well versed on the ins and outs of working memory and provide classroom strategies that support and strengthen it.

Impact
1 /10

educators said they gained new knowledge on how the  working memory subsystems process information

0 %

educators learnt strategies to reduce working memory overload in the classroom.

What Educators Are Saying
"What was said about overloading the working memory and the processing speed is something that I would love to focus on in my classes. The importance to know the interdependence between the cognitive skills. I really was positively surprised by the amount of informations about those skills....I feel so embarrassed now when I remember all the times we ask students to be attentive"
Susan PhilipsEducator, COGx Partner School

Address Various Processing Speeds

Processing speed refers to a learner’s ability to perceive, integrate, and respond to visual, auditory, or motor information. In our programs, educators learn how to discern and tailor their teaching to accommodate variations in processing speeds within their classroom.

Impact
0 %

educators reported they learnt why processing speed is a critical component of learning

0 /10

educators say they now understand how learners vary in their processing speeds and how to accommodate these differences in the classroom

What Educators Are Saying
"Processing speed is a difficult connection, as I do not see the processing. However, based on conversations with students I can modify accordingly to interactions and allow that slow processing student the necessary support. "
Lucas DennisEducator, COGx Partner School
“I have a better understanding about different learners, specifically different processing speeds and how this impacts learning/learners.”
Linda StanleyEducator, COGx Partner School

Capture & Sustain Student Attention

Attention is a core cognitive skill that plays a critical role in learning. It is the first processing skill to be tasked when we are receiving information. While students are often told to “pay attention,” they are rarely taught how. In our programs, educators learn how to capture, keep, and gauge their students’ attention.

Impact
0 %

educators reported to have gained a deeper understanding on the role of processing skills in learning

1 /10

educators felt confident in implementing tools that target & accommodate differences in attention

0 %

educators reported to have gained a better understanding of how to capture and sustain student attention

What Educators Are Saying
"It was very useful to know the impact of the three interdependent cognitive skills that are essential for learning, what can we do to accommodate for processing skills, strengths and weakness in classroom and how all of these affect our students outcome."
Audre DanielEducator, COGx Partner School
"As educators and parents, it was very beneficial to learn about the processing skills strategies which we can use to support and improve participant, attention, memory and the use of time effectively, and also the emotional regulation strategies which will help us to improve the ability to manage our reactions and be calm and focusing."
Steve LopezEducator, COGx Partner School
