Zooming In on Brain Science in the Classroom with Kimberly Cox

Kimberly Cox works full time teaching professional development for teachers centered around brain science. Kimberly explains that growth requires students to work beyond comfort, tolerate failure, and engage in trial and error rather than completing tasks with ease. Whoever does the thinking does the learning; excessive teacher cueing can prevent knowledge from transferring to students. Suggested practices include timed quick writes, post-it responses, partner discussion, questioning, analysis, and application.
