This newsletter examines the latest research into the science of learning and its implications for instructional practice. Our aim is to provide a platform where teachers, teacher candidates, graduate students, and researchers can come together to exchange ideas, share experiences, and deepen their understanding of the science behind effective teaching and learning. We’ll provide you with regular updates on the latest breakthroughs in the learning sciences, including findings from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and educational research. To reduce the gap between research and practice, we’ll also offer practical tips and strategies for applying these insights to your own teaching.
