The latest cognitive science research into how we learn and its implications for curriculum design and implementation (teaching).
The course will centre around the premise that learning is a change to long-term memory; it takes a long time to happen and is invisible to see in the short term.
This will be explored through 5 cognitive principles:
Cognitive Principle 1: We are naturally curious but poor at thinking
Cognitive Principle 2: Knowledge is the basis for creativity
Cognitive Principle 3: We remember what we think about
Cognitive Principle 4: Proficiency takes practice
Cognitive principle 5: Most students think and learn in a similar way
The course is teaming with examples to help you think about your curriculum and the way that it is taught
Includes 76 practical take-aways to help implement the ideas in your school
