Why does education change so slowly, even as the world around it accelerates? For generations, education has relied on tradition, intuition and habit. Today, the science of learning is raising the standard. Educators treat ideas as testable, use evidence from real learners, and improve through iteration.
Join Learning Specialist Ben Talsma for a look at how Van Andel Institute is helping teachers and students put the science of learning to work, cultivating classrooms where curiosity, creativity and critical thinking thrive and helping educators across the country accelerate lasting change.
