🎙️ Teach Smarter: The Science of Learning is officially official on Apple Podcasts and Spotify! I encourage you to check out our two most recent episodes: one on attention with @AmberBHaven and @XpatEducator and another on automaticity with @mommagordon2 and @katie_a_baker If you missed our inaugural episode a couple of months ago, check that one out, too! We break down the modal model of memory with @helenrey and @S_Oberle and explore what it means for teaching and learning. Across every episode, @StamStam193 and I aim to bridge the gap between theory and practice by hearing directly from teachers in the classroom who share concrete, practical applications of the science of learning that any teacher can use in any context. The goal is always to connect what we know about how learning works with what teachers can do to make learning more effective in their classrooms. Give us a listen! 🎧
