time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to students&#8217; different learning styles and use strategies that make learning easier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>Make It Stick&nbsp;<\/em>turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. The authors offer concrete techniques for becoming more productive learners based on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and other disciplines. Memory is central to our ability to carry out complex cognitive tasks, such as applying knowledge to problems never encountered and drawing inferences from known facts. New insights into how memory is encoded, consolidated, and later retrieved have led to a better understanding of how we learn. Grappling with the impediments that make learning challenging leads to more complex mastery and better retention of what was learned.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 23%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Glenn Whitman and Ian Kelleher,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Neuroteach-Brain-Science-Future-Education\/dp\/1475825358\/?&amp;_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=educationa086-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;linkId=c214193404e1ecc772f0767c4469ab00&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Neuroteach<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Teachers are brain changers. Thus, it would seem evident that understanding the brain, the organ of learning, would be critical to a teacher\u2019s readiness to work with students. Unfortunately, in traditional public, public-charter, private, parochial, and home schools across the country, most teachers lack an understanding of how the brain receives, filters, consolidates, and applies learning for both the short and long term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Neuroteach was therefore written to help solve the problem that teachers and school leaders have in bringing the growing body of educational neuroscience research into the design of their schools, classrooms, and work with each student. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">We hope that Neuroteach will help ensure that one day, every student, regardless of zip code or school type, will learn and develop with the guidance of a teacher who knows the research behind how his or her brain works and learns.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure

It&#8217;s a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there&#8217;s a better way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In <em>Deep Work<\/em>, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four &#8220;rules,&#8221; for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 28%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cal Newport, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Good-They-Cant-Ignore-You\/dp\/1455509124\/?&amp;_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=educationa086-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;linkId=51087755787ce2f9fda3857ad0eeb98d&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">So Good They Can&#8217;t Ignore You<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In this eye-opening account, Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that &#8220;follow your passion&#8221; is good advice.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Not only is the clich\u00e9 flawed-preexisting passions are rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work-but it can also be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls
