The science of how people learn is growing more rapidly now than at any previous time in history. Yet the process of interpreting research from cognitive science and other fields and deciding how it should shape classroom decisions for teachers remains a challenge – it requires familiarity with the core principles and knowledge of the times and places they are most relevant. And it requires a mental model of how those principles, once understood, can be translated into the complex environment of the classroom.
At the workshop we’ll discuss concepts such as cognitive load theory, active learning, desirable difficulty, the transient information effect, the self-generation effect, the law of comparative judgment, retrieval practice, and explicit instruction. We’ll apply research into motivation and belonging as well, studying models from actual classrooms as we work, and discussing ways to adapt Teach Like a Champion techniques and other tools to optimize results in each teacher’s context.
This Reading Reconsidered webinar is designed for leaders or teachers who are currently piloting the Reading Reconsidered Curriculum and would like to learn more about the science behind the design. This workshop is also open to teachers and leaders who are not using the curriculum but are interested in learning more about the Reading Reconsidered Curriculum and its research base.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Our workshops are a “Train-the-Trainer” model. We prepare instructional leaders and school leadership teams to deliver excellent training on Teach Like a Champion 3.0 techniques. Schools typically send a team of two to five instructional leaders and teachers in order to have several key team members responsible for turn-keying the work back at their campuses.
