The 'BrainCanDo' Handbook of Teaching and Learning by Julia Harrington

The BrainCanDo Handbook of Teaching and Learning will provide teachers and school-leaders with a concise summary of some of the latest research findings outlining how educational neuroscience can improve learning outcomes.

BrainCanDo aims to develop an educational approach informed by the latest evidence in educational neuroscience and psychologyWhat impressed me most… in this volume, is the commitment of BrainCanDo to leverage the latest research in the learning sciences into practical strategies to improve teaching. What most sets this volume apart from others in the field is its focus on adolescence. The second crucial strength of this volume is how it encourages a culture of research – that at all levels of education, teaching should be informed by evidence.

Undeniably, the work they have accomplished is deeply impressive. The opportunities they have created for their staff to work on research projects with researchers of international standing is admirable and there is much we can draw from their descriptions of gains in learning their students have made.

The ‘BrainCanDo’ Handbook of Teaching and Learning is incredibly rooted in evidence and might be one of the most research-informed books we have ever come across.
