Summary Note "Neuroscientists and cognitive scientists have made enormous strides in understanding the brain and how we learn, but little of that insight has filtered into the way teachers teach. 'Uncommon sense teaching' applies this research to the classroom for teachers, parents, and anyone interested in improving education. Topics include: Keeping students motivated and engaged, especially with online learning; Helping students remember information long-term; Teaching inclusively in a diverse classroom where students have a wide range of abilities." - Back cover.
