Teacher Professional Development
Teach Students How To Learn
Gregg teaches teachers, coaches, students and administrators how high efficiency learning really works. It applies in any subject, at any grade level.
The Idea
We teach content. Nobody teaches the how
Schools put real time and effort into content delivery, and that matters. Figuring out how to learn it is still left to the student, and that is what decides how far a student goes.
All teachers have some of this. The great ones have most of it. Few have the names for it or see how the pieces fit into a larger model, because this research has only recently made its way out of psychology and neuroscience.
There are small ways to start that do not disrupt your curriculum and still produce real gains.
What A Session Covers
Practical, research-based, and usable
How learning really works
Cognitive and behavioral psychology and neuroscience, translated for the classroom.
Deliberate practice
How real skill gets built on purpose, in any subject.
Mindset, self control and habits
Why students stall, and what actually moves them forward.
Retrieval, spacing and desirable difficulty
The study methods that make learning stick and stay usable.
Try it in the room
Teachers feel the jump in focus and thinking during the session itself.
Formats
Built to fit your calendar
The same material has run as a 60 minute conference lecture and as a 10 day residency. Many areas make strong breakout sessions.
Keynote or Conference Lecture
60 minutes for a full faculty, a district day, or a conference audience.
Breakout Sessions
Smaller groups going deeper on one part of the material.
Hands On Workshop
Teachers try the methods and take them straight back to class.
Student Workshop
The same ideas taught to students, in language that lands with them.
Curriculum Consulting
Help building this into the courses you already teach.
Multi Day Residency
From a couple of days up to ten, working with staff and students.
You are a dynamic conduit between research and practice, and that is a vital link.
From Schools
What educators say
You have provided one of the most beneficial presentations to my teachers I think they have attended since I began working with the school.
Gregg brings a wealth of knowledge and understanding to the discussion of learning, accurately conveying the close connections among mindset, willpower, habit formation, and, of course, deliberate practice.
It really works and I wish I knew this info 20 years ago.
Gregg Goodhart’s remarkable presentation on cognitive neuroscience illuminates and reinforces our beliefs in the value of arts education for all learners. A stellar presentation.
Since his visit, I have had students stop me and tell me they have started using Mr. Goodhart’s recommended practice techniques and admit that they are working.
He is a very motivational speaker and he covered a great deal of material in a short amount of time.
