We have all heard the saying, “practice makes perfect.” Perhaps more accurately we should say, “good practice makes it more easily retrievable!” There are research-backed practice strategies that support the long-term retention of information regardless of how we see our personal strengths.
This course focuses on the beautiful complexity of our brains beyond any one hemisphere, and how effective practice supports the attainment of any skill we -- or our students -- work to learn. It is part of a series from ISTE's learning sciences initiative, Course of Mind, that debunks common myths about learning.
