Agarwal, Ph.D., and veteran educator Patrice M. Bain, Ed.S. This book distills over 100 years of research into four actionable, evidence-based strategies—retrieval practice, spacing, interleaving, and feedback-driven metacognition—that can be implemented in under a minute without extra prep or grading. Proven to raise student achievement by a letter grade or more, it equips educators at all levels to enhance learning outcomes, engage diverse students, and foster long-term knowledge retention. ## Description Unleash powerful teaching and the science of learning in your classroom Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning empowers educators to harness rigorous research on how students learn and unleash it in their classrooms. In this book, cognitive scientist Pooja K. Agarwal, Ph.D., and veteran K–12 teacher Patrice M. Bain, Ed.S., decipher cognitive science research and illustrate ways to successfully apply the science of learning in classrooms settings. This practical resource is filled with evidence-based strategies that are easily implemented in less than a minute―without additional prepping, grading, or funding! Research demonstrates that these powerful strategies raise student achievement by a letter grade or more; boost learning for diverse students, grade levels, and subject areas; and enhance students’ higher order learning and transfer of knowledge beyond the classroom. Drawing on a fifteen-year scientist-teacher collaboration, more than 100 years of research on learning, and rich experiences from educators in K–12 and higher education, the authors present highly accessible step-by-step guidance on how to transform teaching with four essential strategies: Retrieval practice, spacing, interleaving, and feedback-driven metacognition. With Powerful Teaching , you will: Develop a deep understanding of powerful teaching strategies based on the science of learning Gain insight from real-world examples of how evidence-based strategies are being implemented in a variety of academic settings Think critically about your current teaching practices from a research-based perspective Develop tools to share the science of learning with students and parents, ensuring success inside and outside the classroom Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning is an indispensable resource for educators who want to take their instruction to the next level. Equipped with scientific knowledge and evidence-based tools, turn your teaching into powerful teaching and unleash student learning in your classroom. Review: Useful and insightful! - What I take away from this book are useful strategies to use to enhance student learning. I think I have probably been doing some of these things already, but the book puts these practices into words and defines them clearly. Some reviews are unfairly harsh, I think, and place too much emphasis on "evidence" to support the strategies outlined. As an experienced teacher, I used my own experiences/anecdotes in the classroom to make sense of the ideas put forward and can very much see the logic in them. I look forward to trying them out and seeing how well they work for my students this year. Review: This book provides what many teacher preparation programs are missing! - The authors, one a classroom teacher and the other a cognitive scientist and college professor, present an easy-to-read yet thorough examination of four very powerful tools to help students learn: retrieval practice, interleaving, spacing, and feedback-driven metacognition. They provide summaries of research studies for each tool in a way that is understandable to the average reader, describe numerous ways in which the techniques can be used in a classroom setting, and provide reflections and anecdotes of how they have helped their students become engaged as they take ownership of their learning. They "practice as they preach" by putting in review questions throughout the book that employ all four tools. The reader will discover first-hand how effective these techniques are in developing long-lasting and durable memories. This book is not the first to delve into what cognitive psychology has to offer to education, but this is one of the best books I have read to really offer concrete pedagogical techniques that require little to no advanced planning or additional grading. The authors make a compelling and convincing case that the nominal additional time and energy devoted to using these techniques during instruction results in more material being learned *and* remembered over a longer timeframe. Many teacher training programs lack coverage of these useful techniques. The veteran teacher, who may be jaded by years of unfulfilling inservices and professional development programs, is often skeptical of "new" ways of teaching (though, ironically, the efficacy of these techniques have been known for decades). Such skeptics who are willing to read this book, however, should find something intriguing enough that they may want to try in a future lesson. I recommend this book unequivocally to anyone in teaching profession, from student teacher to seasoned educator, from vice-principal to superintendent, and from teaching assistant to emeritus professor. The approaches and strategies provide the potential for improved test scores and grades and a better attitude towards learning among students in schools that are seriously willing to make a paradigm shift in their instruction. ## Features - Item Trademark: JOSSEY-BASS - manufacturer: Jossey-Bass Inc.,U.S. - Item Weight: grams, pounds, 1.20813319576, 548. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #156,883 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #784 in Education Theory | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 455 Reviews | ## Images ![JOSSEY-BASS Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iFgSFZllL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful and insightful! *by A***R on 14 August 2021* What I take away from this book are useful strategies to use to enhance student learning.

From communication with student and parents about the science of learning to tools that ‘tackle challenges’ rather than ‘adding to them’, Pooja and Patrice walk us through how to harness what they call the power tools; Retrieval Practice, Spacing, Interleaving and Feedback-Driven Metacognition. Sharing practical techniques to try in the classroom and offering the reader regular ‘power up’ summaries, distilling complex ideas into simple and easy to follow actions and reflection for the classroom, this book is useful for teachers of all experiences. We highly recommend having a look at this book if you want to improve your teaching practice.
