Uncommon Sense Teaching: Practical Insights in Brain Science to Help Students Learn by Terrence J. Sejnowski, Beth Rogowsky, Barbara Oakley

5.0

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.
