Summary - Strategies to Make Learning Stick 5239.L26.4649. Online registration by Cvent

When it comes to learning, work smarter, not harder! This course draws upon current research on the Science of Learning to provide teachers with surprisingly simple strategies that will make students’ time spent learning and studying more effective. We’ll bridge the gap between the tried and true research on how the brain learns and retains information, and the day-to-day reality of teaching a dynamic classroom of students. You’ll learn the basics of how the brain takes in and stores information, as well as best practices for retrieval. We’ll share easy-to-implement strategies to make learning “sticky” and guide you through lesson design that can improve outcomes for students. No matter the subject or grade level you teach, you’ll walk away with “smarter” strategies to create more efficient and independent learners.
