Recommendation
In this practical teaching guide, academics Barbara Oakley, Beth Rogowsky, and Terrence Sejnowski share their extensive knowledge of education and the neuroscience of learning. They help teachers become more effective by increasing their understanding of their students’ brains and showing them how to meet individual students’ needs. In describing the process of how information moves between working memory and long-term memory — along with techniques, hacks, and motivators to improve this process — the authors provide valuable insights based on solid research. Each chapter offers active learning ideas to reinforce its concepts.
