The Science of Learning CPD

THE SCIENCE OF LEARNING CPD WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

Our one day Science of Learning teacher CPD workshop brings our best-selling book The Science of Learning to life. It will help your staff find out about the most important educational psychology research in an interesting and useful way.

John Hattie described our book as his “book of the decade”. Dylan Williams wrote “this is the book I have been waiting for”, and Dame Alison Peacock says it is “an absolute must for every school”.

So, why not learn about the 77 studies that every teacher needs to know in a practical workshop?

Divided into three sections, this workshop covers the best evidence-based strategies for the classroom. These will allow your staff to improve students’ memory and resilience and help them become independent learners.
