About this course:

Knowing how to facilitate efficient and effective learning has perhaps never been more important than it is in today’s complex and rapidly changing world. However, the last several decades of research have demonstrated that the route to achieve such lasting learning is surprisingly unintuitive and often requires that we engage in activities that violate standard practices in education. Designed for teachers at any level and of any subject area, this workshop is intended to help educators understand and leverage the science of learning in their classrooms to improve student achievement. Through a mix of presentations and interactive activities, the following topics will be covered: (1) the basics of human learning and memory; (2) mindsets and attitudes that motivate, and result from, student learning; (3) popular myths about learning that are stifling educational progress; (4) the science behind several important, yet relatively unknown, fundamental learning principles; and (5) how to apply powerful, evidence-based learning strategies in the classroom to foster efficient, effective long-term retention and transfer of knowledge. This workshop will help teachers understand how the science of learning can be harnessed to boost student success in the classroom and beyond.
