Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning
The book Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning (2019, Jossey-Bass/Wiley) is the culmination of a 15-year collaboration between Dr. Agarwal, a cognitive scientist, and Patrice Bain, a veteran K-12 teacher. This rare partnership of scientist-and-teacher is true to the rigors of cognitive science and also practical with today’s educators in mind.
Drawing on joint expertise, the authors decipher cognitive science research, illustrate how they have applied the science of learning in their own teaching, and provide evidence-based recommendations to empower educators to unleash the science of learning in their classrooms.
