Description
Unleash powerful teaching and the science of learning in your classroom. This book empowers educators to harness rigorous research on how students learn and apply it in their classrooms. Cognitive scientist Pooja K. Agarwal, Ph.D., and veteran teacher Patrice M. Bain, Ed.S., present evidence-based strategies for transforming teaching with four essential approaches: retrieval practice, spacing, interleaving, and feedback-driven metacognition. Drawing on a fifteen-year collaboration between a scientist and a teacher, as well as over 100 years of research on learning, the authors provide accessible step-by-step guidance. These practical strategies can be implemented in less than a minute, without additional preparation or funding, and have been shown to raise student achievement by a letter grade or more. Research demonstrates that these powerful teaching approaches boost learning for diverse students, across different subject areas, and enhance students' higher-order learning and transfer of knowledge beyond the classroom.
