Have you had students struggle to remember what was taught the previous year, semester, or even the last month? Have you had students internalize failure, thinking they won’t succeed because they’re “not smart”? There are reasons, researched reasons why this happens. Patrice Bain, veteran teacher and author knows the rigor required for the classroom. Having worked with cognitive scientists for over fifteen years, Bain developed teaching strategies based on robust research that improve learning. Best of all, these strategies don’t add to teachers’ already filled plates but will streamline what they are already doing. In this engaging and interactive workshop, Patrice Bain will unlock the research and provide evidence-based strategies that will transform your teaching so that all students will be successful learners.
After working with Patrice, educators will:
Learn research behind Retrieval, Spacing, and Feedback-driven Metacognition
Grasp how simple changes to what they are already doing will increase student learning
Have a repertoire of tools and strategies that can be used the following day
All attendees will receive a certificate for one hour of professional learning. Registrants will receive access to the slides and recording within 24 hours.
Patrice M. Bain, Ed.S., educator, speaker and author. Bain, Finalist for Illinois Teacher of the Year and Fulbright Scholar in Europe, has been featured in national and international presentations, webinars, podcasts, articles and press, including PBS NOVA and Scientific American. She spent 15 of her 25+ year teaching career working with cognitive scientists turning research into learning strategies. Bain was asked by the U.S. Department of Education to work with cognitive scientists to co-author Organizing Instruction and Study to Improve Student Learning. In addition, Patrice co-authored Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning and authored A Parent’s Guide to Powerful Teaching. She was one of two U.S. teachers on the working task group: Neuromyths vs. Neurotruths, sponsored by Institute of Education Sciences (IES) and National Commission on Education Research (NCER). Bain was one of 300 educators worldwide asked to contribute to UNESCO’s ISEE (International Science and Evidence-based Education) vision for 2030.
