About

Scientists have learned more about the brain in the last 10 years than in all previous centuries. Some of the research findings support ways we teach and learn instinctively, and others are quite surprising! For example, focusing on pulling information out of the brain is an effective method to store information long term. Furthermore, we actually want students to forget a little bit before revisiting the material again. This program fills a common gap in teacher training, how do people learn? Gain a toolbox of strategies that will ensure your students remember what you teach them well beyond their time in your classroom.

What Educators are Saying

" I feel the memory retrieval part and especially the interleaving, spacing and self-testing will be approached smoothly with our students and I would like to apply them in order to improve their learning experiences. "
Eden WilliamsEducator, COGx Partner School
"Labeling strategies learners already use to encode and retrieve information transforms them from nameless thought processes to reliable tools a learner can use to improve his/her/their learning process. This for me is the most significant take-away from the module; that I can tell my students to use this technique or that strategy and that they'd know exactly what I'm talking about and how it's helping them whether is during the lesson for encoding or after the lesson for retrieval. This and more spacing when it comes to studying and post-lesson activities. Thank you"
