Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning

Description:

Teachers are given the impossible challenge of finding research, making sense of it, and applying it in the classroom. Until now. Presented by a cognitive scientist and a veteran K-12 teacher, Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning is an interactive workshop, empowering educators to harness three evidence-based strategies: retrieval practice, spacing, and feedback-driven metacognition. Without extra prepping or grading, take your instruction to the next level and transform learning.
