This session delves into the role of cognitive science and how it can translate into quality teaching for those with SEND.
About this Event

This session will look into the role and significance of cognitive science, linking to research compiled by the Education Endowment Fund (EEF) in the context of SEND. We will look into how cognitive science translates into quality teaching. The training will reflect on the seven aspects of cognitive science including:


  • spaced learning
  • interleaving
  • retrieval practice
  • managing cognitive load
  • working with schemas
  • multimedia learning
  • embodied learning


This session combines essential theoretical knowledge with practical strategies and attendees learning will be assessed through applied tasks at the end of the session.
