What people are saying
What is the Teacher CPD Academy book series?
In short, it’s a series of books written by leading education experts, co-edited by InnerDrive’s Edward Watson and Bradley Busch, and published by Routledge. In this ever-expanding series, educators can discover the many applications of Cognitive Science to Teaching & Learning.
Where does the Academy bit come in? Well, each book will also be accompanied by its own interactive training module on InnerDrive’s Teacher CPD Academy online platform!
Each book offers a deep dive into its own focal area, through a lens of Cognitive Science alongside supporting classroom examples and graphics.
Lead Psychologist at InnerDrive, Bradley Busch says “we are very proud to be able to platform brilliant researchers, teachers and senior leaders as part of this series. They are going to cover areas of topics that matter to classroom teachers and how they can apply Cognitive Science research in new and innovative ways.”
