Brain-Based Teaching Workshop

Long-Term Memory Strategies for Teachers

Help students remember what they learn. This workshop trains educators in durable learning routines that strengthen long-term retention through simple, research-backed classroom techniques. 

Long-Term Memory vs Working Memory in the Classroom

Working memory is limited and easily overloaded. Long-term memory is where knowledge becomes stable and usable. In this training, you’ll learn how to design instruction so new content moves from short-term processing into lasting understanding.

You’ll practice classroom-ready methods such as spaced review, retrieval practice, elaboration, and effective use of visuals and examples. The focus is on routines you can apply immediately. No special programs required.

By the end, you’ll leave with a toolkit of lesson structures and review systems that help knowledge stick, reduce forgetting, and improve students’ ability to apply learning over time.

What You'll Learn

Educational Neuroscience

“The schema theory workshop helped me understand why some students grasp concepts quickly while others struggle. The cognitive science for teachers content gave me practical brain-based teaching strategies for building strong knowledge structures. This evidence-based teaching training has improved my instruction dramatically!” 

David M., Science Teacher

Transform Student Learning Outcomes
