This was a great book to not only give you tips for teaching, but also to explain how the brain learns the way it does.

WHAT A TRIP.
As I was reading I could see the pitfalls that I been falling with my language learning/art learning.
So many nuggets , ideas , strategies to make my learning better.

I would quite literally read a chunk of the book and then sit to reflect.

Chapters 1-6 should be mandatory for all teachers and lifelong learners.

Chapters 7-10 did not really apply to me as I don't teach.

But still I think the book is worth reading even if for those 6 chapters alone.



I would invite everyone to read this book , to reflect on your working memory , on how has it that you been learning things and why is it that retrieval practice is so underused in education.

Lots of great advice for adapting teaching based on neuroscience. The appendix featured some great group dynamic information that I actually think may have been a great addendum to the main text.

I am pretty sure I have more dog-eared pages than not! Some of the ideas where a little more geared to primary and secondary teaching but there was still plenty of great stuff for postsecondary teaching.
