New for Spring 2026: Schema Theory Workshop — limited seats available.
Master cognitive load classroom management and working memory classroom strategies. Learn function workshop, instructional strategies to reduce cognitive overload in classrooms.
Working memory is where active thinking happens. When it gets overloaded, students miss steps, lose track of directions, and struggle to show what they know.
In this professional development workshop, teachers learn practical ways to reduce cognitive overload and design lessons that are easier to follow without lowering expectations. We connect cognitive load theory to everyday classroom moves, then practice applying the ideas to real lessons.
You’ll leave with ready-to-use strategies and activities that support executive function across grade levels, including middle school examples. Topics include simplifying directions, building strong routines, using visuals effectively, and structuring tasks so students can hold, process, and use information more successfully.
Learn the cognitive science behind working memory, its capacity limits, and how it impacts student learning and classroom instruction

Evidence-Based Teaching
“This working memory workshop completely transformed my classroom instruction. I finally understand why some students struggle and what I can do to help. The cognitive science for teachers content was rigorous yet accessible, and the brain-based teaching strategies work immediately. Best teacher professional development I’ve experienced!”
