Applying neuroscience to learning and teaching
O ur consultants are experts in the latest neuroscience research applied to learning and teaching and will be able to work with your school to develop classroom strategies that will enhance your students’ ability to encode and retrieve information in order to develop complex schema in their brains which will lead to true mastery of their subjects. The training programmes below are our most popular cognitive science courses, but contact us at CollaboratED1@gmail.com and let us know what your school needs are and we will design training programmes tailored to you.
Cognitive Load Theory
In the last few years, cognitive load theory (CLT) has been receiving a lot of attention by educators and it has started to shape the classroom practice of many teachers. In his 2017 tweet Prof Dylan Wiliam’s said ‘I’ve come to the conclusion Sweller’s Cognitive Load Theory is the single most important thing for teachers to know’.
We have developed highly effective CLT training programmes that will enable your teachers to change the way the present information to students and to enhance their grasp of their subject through effective retrieval practice.
Spaced Learning
This revolutionary technique will transform your classroom and enable your students to encode vast portions of subject content in their long-term memory in a fraction of the time normally needed. This will free up a lot of time that could be used for deliberate practice, project-based learning and exam preparation. We are developing training programmes based on the latest neuroscience research and we would be delighted to work with you to develop the best set of resources for your school.
