Great info for teachers, or anyone dealing with kids. Easy to understand explanations
This book is a collaboration by three authors; Barb Oakley and Terry Sejnowski, creators of the popular course âLearning how to Learn,â and Beth Rogowsky, a lifelong educator and expert in behavioral neuroscience. The goal of the book is to give teachers new insights into how we learn, by using the latest neuroscience and cognition research.The book is written using basic language, and oversimplified examples, so that it should be fairly easy to understand even if you have no familiarity with the concepts at all. At first I was surprised by these elementary explanations; in fact many concepts are explained with pictures and analogies that I might use if I were explaining these ideas to children. Later I understood why the authors took this approach, because they actually recommend using some of the same images and analogies to explain certain ideas to your students. This seems like a good idea, because you can’t teach children something if you don’t really understand it yourself; and they have made this information easy to understand.Each chapter starts by introducing concepts, and giving the reader information about an aspect of how we learn and remember. Then there are specific activities and strategies suggested to use with your students. There are also general teaching tips listed, that have something to do with using the information on a daily basis. Each chapter ends with a review list of key ideas in the chapter, to highlight the most important concepts.There are ten main chapters, covering many different topics, including: simple anatomy of neurons, long term memory vs working memory, retrieval practice, active learning, declarative and procedural pathways, procrastination, habits, collaborative learning, online teaching, and lesson plans. Again, teachers should not be intimidated by the names of these concepts, even if they are unfamiliar, because everything is thoroughly explained in simple terms.Overall, I think that this book is a valuable resource for teachers, or anyone that deals with children. Using this information can help you come up with new ways to reach your students, and keep them engaged and learning. I appreciate the authors work in breaking down some advanced neuroscience into simple language and useful activities, so it is easy for teachers to use right away.

A Good Refresher
Iâve been teaching 17 years and have learned most of this either back in college, PDs, or figured it out myself over the years. The brain research aspect in the beginning was very interesting though. While reading, I was constantly thinking of how I could apply the information in new ways. There were some great application examples of techniques I used in the past, but had forgotten about.

If you care about teaching wellâ¦
We all teach and we all learn, whether it be as a parent, coach, or manager, then this book is for you. It tries to be as clear as possible and give practical advice, I think it does quite well.For example, when youâre trying to teach someone should you lecture/talk at them for an hour or have them do some sort of active learning/immersive learning. Neither, you should intersperse and alternate blocks of each, and if you have complete control they should be in ten minutes blocks.Iâve already used it to help my team learn about healthcare and how to teach my daughter to ride her bike.

Informative
If youâre a teacher thisâll be more in the four stars bracket, especially if youâre new. If youâre just curious how to optimize your learning. It gives a few insights on how your brain works as it grasps a new concepts. The diagrams with how the neuron changes as you learn is pretty fascinating. The 50 or so pages of this book (2 chapters) are really for teachers. At the end of each chapter are also ideas and practices on what you could do as a teacher. Again really helpful if you are, extra page padding if you youâre not.

Achei todos os capitulos relevantes, uma linguagem fácil e gostosa de ler. Usei muito os conceitos e questionmamentos em treinamentos para professores.

Well written and easy to understand – not a science textbook at all. If you are debating as to whether to buy the book, itâs a pleasure to read, but unnecessary for the course.

I’ve read a lot of books about learning and this one is just the best for the teacher point of view. It sums up a lot of things I’ve learned along the years.Make it stick is the next read if you haven’t already.
