Will I love Uncommon Sense Teaching?

Sure the brain is at the heart of all we do but how do we bridge the chasm between technical neuroscience and cognitive psychology, and what we do day to day in the classroom?

The book was packed with aha moments connecting specific practices such as why it is important to pause often in class to the science (it helps move information from working memory to long-term memory). With vivid examples, the authors make neuroscience palatable and pragmatic.

Also packed with activities you can directly use.

I am not a cognitive scientist; I am a practitioner. Nevertheless, having a complex understanding of how the adolescent mind works is key to my success as a teacher.

I love this book because it explains the process of moving information from the working memory to the long-term memory in the simplest of terms.
