Bridging Cognitive Science & Education

My background is in cognitive-neuroscientific research (human learning and memory), and my expertise is in bridging the sciences of learning with teaching and learning in classrooms. I design, teach and facilitate workshops and work with educators to redesign classes, courses, and programs.  I support educators with evidence-informed classroom-oriented content, pedagogy and technology.

I focus on:

• Understanding the key principles in learning:  knowledge acquisition and long-term retention, effective practice,  motivation for learning and metacognition. I use graphical models to create a concrete space for thinking and planning.

• Choosing and applying effective strategies in the classroom to support better learning for all students, as well as teachers on their professional development pathway.
