Amazing course. I have learned many ways of versatile teaching strategies. It opened up a whole new prospect in my mind, how to strategies my lessons and make my students independent learners.

Great course! I'm not a teacher, but I have enjoyed it very much. I found it helpful for lifelong learning and supporting my young nephew learning. Thanks so much to the three teachers.

Enthusiastic instructors sharing lots of insightful ideas about how to teach and learn effectively. I highly recommend all teachers take this course and reflect on their own teaching.

It is a very interesting course. Neuroscience evolves quickly and paradigms are demolished. Tthis course has been an easy and fast way to know that evolution.

Very nice and fruitful training. I have learned a lot and was able to re-think my current way of thinking about the learning process. Worth in every inch!

Fantastic course, with clear explanation of the concepts. Full of good insights into how we process and retain information. Highly recommended.

Empowering! Raises the art of teaching to a new, much higher, yet accessible level. It also provides much needed hope for the "slow" learner.

Very practical and doable. The course was "scaffolded" well. I found the "hiker" in me.

Great Course -Learning linked to neuroscience

By Polly-chan

You know the course is exceptionally valuable when the 3 instructors explain concepts in a simple and easy manner, structuring their videos to be short and including their own thoughts and puns and using metaphors. They use every possible opportunity to provoke our thinking and memory, strengthening our neuron links every time we do the quiz or watch a new video. It feels like a long journey, but a short course that's easy to remember and recall. I will probably rewatch it some time again in the future to reconfirm my links with the wisdom being discussed here!

This course as the authors state is the example itself of waht they are trying to explain. The videos are short but very substantive and the concepts, even when sometimes are rather complex can be understood. Additionally, it is definitely a powerful tool for us teachers to improve our practice, especially for bringing back concepts from the utlimate insights of neuroscience that seemed to be forgotten like the importance of reading, writing and direct instruction as valid and effective methods for teaching in XXI century education.

One of the best courses that I have taken - this will be very impactful in my Substitute Teaching. I feel that the materials were relative, clearly presented and that the instructors were engaging, such that I wanted to continue through all 3 of the courses.

I highly recommend this course to any parent, teacher, paraprofessional, coach, administrator --- basically anyone who wants to learn about their own way of learning and how our own children and students learn.

Thank you!

I have studied online widely now for two decades or so, few of the courses I have read have so caught my interest as this one. The substance backing teaching methods, amazingly educating, at the same time taught in a most interesting manner, bearing I guess in mind the teachings of Direct Instruction? I shall return to this course again to refresh the memory, even though I have handwritten copious notes from all lectures....

Excelente curso, no solo para enseñar mejor sino para aprender mejor. La combinación de experiencia de los instructores hace que el material sea increíblemente valioso y el curso en sí mismo está diseñado con los métodos que están enseñando. Lo recomiendo a cualquier persona interesada en el aprendizaje o enseñanza. No hay necesidad de conocimiento previo pues todo es explicado de manera muy sencilla sin perder la calidad.

Totally love the course and inspired to buy the book. Great reinforcement of the concepts that I learned back during my pre-service training for teaching, accompanied with a more coherent framework of evidence from neuroscience. The instructors also made the content engaging through the ways they deliver the presentations and the modelling of strategies that they were advocating for in the course. Great for all educators!

Another excelent course from these amazing people that help us, teachers and instructors in all levels, understand and take advantage of the breakthroughs in neuroscience to put it to work in our classrooms. Thank you very much for this incredible learning experience Beth, Barb, Terry and all your team that makes it possible for the whole world to have access to this magnificent educational path.

Excellent Course providing backed up science to the way we learn and tips and techniques to improve on the way we embed new information. This course is applicable to anyone who is in the process of life long learning from young children to the elderly

The way it is presented, the visuals and metaphors 'walk the talk' of the way we shoudl learn and teach.

Very insightful. Highly Reccomended

Somewhat unsurprisingly, considering the content, the instructors were very, very good at making their content understandable and memorable. It was interesting to see them apply the teaching insights they were teaching to their own course. How meta!

The presentation style was rather cheesy. I was honestly enjoyed it but I feel like other people might want to be forewarned.

It was not only useful and intersting but also exciting! While going through the course I myself became more disciplined in my studies and as a teacher I was thinking about my most "difficult" students with special problems in learning, or just hikers, or the lazy ones and I saw the ways of applying the know-hows from this course to help them study!

Thank you so much!

Is a marvelous help and a mind changing course, its for all teachers in all levels and disciplines.

The course is on the light of neuroscience, connecting the more recent knowledge about brain function, the learning process and learning techniques. Is a practical guide that help as teachers to drag the best of our students, and to ensure their success.

I think one of the best course on teaching on Coursera. It helped me reflected on my own learning methods during early years and confirmed lots of my understanding on what makes a good student and good teacher too! Definitely recommend it to anyone interested in teaching, either as teachers or as parents who are keen on helping children learning better.

I loved that I could take this course at my own pace. This is something I was interested in and loved learning about. The videos were the perfect length for my concentration. They used great examples and metaphors that I can remember. The visuals were fun and helped me remember the concepts that were taught. Barb, Beth and Terry did a fantastic job!

This is an amazing course. There are many great insights into how students learn. I teach in a dental school, and have picked up a number of ideas on how to improve my teaching. The instructors walk the talk. They provide practical ideas, but they are also teaching by example throughout the course. Thank you for a great course.
