Applying Developmental Science to Impact Teaching and Learning




The Whole Child Podcast: Changing the Conversation About Education show

Summary: Developing successful learners who are prepared for success in college or further study and for employment and citizenship in a global environment requires us to think outside the box -- the cognitive box, that is. The science of learning and child development is rarely used in classrooms, and research has demonstrated that we can maximize learning when educators apply developmental principles effectively. In this episode of the Whole Child Podcast, we explore the key principles of developmental science that can affect the way teachers teach and the way students learn.
