Summary:

"Research is not just theoretical, but a direct description of the actions, approaches and choices that teachers make every day in the classroom. Providing a comprehensive look into how learning happens in the brain, this essential guide provides practical teaching strategies and scaffolding frameworks that help create meaningful learning experiences for all students. The book reveals the cognitive science behind learning, knowledge acquisition and memory, and demonstrates how they can be supported through teaching. It walks the reader through what works in the classroom, explains why it works and then offers step-by-step guidance to support teachers in making this knowledge an everyday part of their practice"-- Provided by publisher.
