“We believe that access to the science of learning can help change lives. By incorporating evidence-based cognitive science into everyday teaching practices, we can significantly improve how students learn. This initiative is an important step in making the science of learning more accessible and usable for teachers.”

A core feature of the CPD Academy is its emphasis on memory and learning. Content covered will include key cognitive principles such as memory, attention, motivation, and metacognition.
“We are committed to supporting teachers throughout their careers, and this collaboration with the forward-thinking Northern Ireland Department of Education is a testament to the importance of investing in high-quality professional development,” said Busch. “By equipping teachers with the latest insights from cognitive science, we can help them make more informed decisions about how they teach, creating a more effective learning environment for their students.”
“I committed in TransformED to prioritising the professional learning needs of our teaching workforce. This partnership with InnerDrive reflects our dedication to equipping teachers with cutting-edge tools to meet the evolving needs of our students. By delivering accessible, research-driven professional learning, we are fostering a culture of continuous improvement, ensuring better outcomes for young people across Northern Ireland.”
