The last several decades have deepened our scientific understanding of how our minds process and store new information, and how we apply that knowledge to new situations. But these insights from learning science are only starting to influence how teachers teach.
In this webinar, Benjamin Riley, the founder of Deans for Impact (an organisation working to connect learning science to teaching practice) explores how teachers can design learning experiences for students rooted in scientific insight.
Benjamin Riley is the founder and executive director of Deans for Impact. Prior to founding Deans for Impact, Ben conducted research on the New Zealand education system, worked as the policy director for a national education nonprofit, and served as deputy attorney general for the State of California. He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington and J.D. from the Yale Law School.
