How to teach?
Recent progress in the educational sciences, cognitive sciences and psychology suggests novel ways of teaching and learning, but public school systems are notoriously slow at implementing them, let alone evaluating the results. In addition, there is a growing body of controlled studies of teaching methods that tell us a lot about what works in practice and what doesn't. We want to build our school on that foundation wherever possible, inferring and testing additional strategies where insufficient data is available.
What do we know about effective teaching?
In this section, we will provide links to studies and best evidence summaries on topics relevant to our teaching goals, and summarize relevant insights from the educational and cognitive sciences. In time, we hope to provide our own structured overviews of the relevant literature.
What do we know about effective learning?
On the flip side of effective teaching, there are plenty of methods for learning better, faster, and more effectively that we could introduce to students. From mnemonics through speed reading to gamified digital learning technologies, these skills and techniques might benefit students more than most factual input could.
How to create a good learning environment?
Where do we learn best? What materials and technologies can best support us in reaching our goals? From multipurpose science labs and student kitchens to tablets loaded with software for autonomous learning, both well-proven and excitingly novel materials are vying for our attention.
