There's a lot of controversy surrounding how science can help teachers and learning.

Some say it's overtaking and is too rigid. My guest today says differently.

We cover;

- attention span

- evidence-based learning

- motivation

-working memory and long-term memory

- decoding regarding listening and reading.

Enjoy!
