How Learning Really Happens

A one-page summary of six findings from cognitive science and what each means for classroom teaching.

Description

A one-page summary of six findings from cognitive science: working memory tires quickly, retrieval is learning, memory is reconstructive, knowledge underpins thinking, achievement drives motivation, and learning is not the same as performance.

Each finding is paired with its implication for the classroom. Intended as a staffroom and CPD reference for teachers and those who lead their learning.
