The Science of Learning & Memory

Join your peers in an interactive day of learning about the science of learning and how to incorporate nudges into your teaching to help students learn how to learn effectively in your classroom. Rather than redesigning what you already do, learn ways to incorporate small changes into your content to help your students better understand how they learn and how to apply that to learning in your classroom.  

During the workshop you’ll learn some basic principles of how people learn. We’ll discuss how these principles inform evidence-based study strategies. You will have a chance to rework lessons you already teach to incorporate how to study effectively. There will also be opportunities for peer feedback. Come with an existing lesson plan (or a few!) for a subject that your students struggle to learn.

To sign up for this workshop, please visit the Denver Museum of Nature and Science website.
