How Teaching Happens

Why ‘How Teaching Happens’?
As an education professional it can be hard to judge what works and what doesn’t work in education, as scientific research hardly ever perfectly translates to the classroom. Moreover, you can easily get lost in the abundance of academic literature or the hundreds of educational trends. What can we learn from the most seminal studies on learning and teaching? What is the most important evidence and how can you use it in your own practice? 

This webinar series on ‘How Teaching Happens’ aims to give you a basic and profound understanding of how we can translate research from cognitive psychology into the daily practice excellent teaching. Two of the writers of the internationally recognized and awarded bestseller book ‘How Teaching Happens’, professors Jim Heal and Carl Hendrick, facilitate this webinar series and guide you through the most seminal scientific work on teaching and learning, making the research as practical as possible for the classroom.

How Teaching Happens is aimed at any educational professional who is seeking to adopt a more evidence-informed approach as a teacher or school and apply the science on learning and teaching in the classroom.

• Webinar 1: The effective teacher
  What makes a good teacher? How to become an effective teacher?
