Effective Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning empowers educators to harness thorough research on what students learn and unleash it in their classrooms. With this reserve, cognitive scientist Pooja K. Agarwal, PhD, and veteran K-12 teacher Patrice M. Bain, EdS, decipher cognitive research study and illustrate ways to effectively apply the science of learning in classrooms settings. This practical reference is filled up with evidence-based strategies that are often implemented in less than a minute-without extra prepping, grading, or funding!

Research demonstrates these powerful strategies increase student achievement by a letter grade or even more; increase learning for diverse students, grade levels, and subject areas; and enhance students’ higher purchase learning and transfer of knowledge beyond the class. Drawing on a fifteen-year scientist-teacher collaboration, more than a century of analysis on learning, and wealthy experiences from educators in K-12 and advanced schooling, the writers present highly accessible step-by-step help with how exactly to transform teaching with four essential strategies: Retrieval practice, spacing, interleaving, and feedback-driven metacognition.
