Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our cognitive science workshops and evidence-based teaching resources

About Workshops

Cognitive science for teachers translates research from psychology, neuroscience, and education into practical classroom strategies. It focuses on how students think, learn, and remember, covering working memory, attention and learning, cognitive load, motivation theory, and schema theory. Our teacher professional development workshops make this research accessible and immediately applicable to K-12 education.

Our neuroscience professional development for educators covers five core areas: Working Memory (strategies for classroom instruction and reducing cognitive load), Long-Term Memory (research-based teaching for retention), Attention (capturing and maintaining student focus), Motivation (motivation science for teachers and student engagement), and Schema Theory (building organized knowledge structures). All workshops provide evidence-based teaching strategies grounded in educational neuroscience.
Yes! Our evidence-based teaching training is designed for K-12 education across all subjects and grade levels. The brain-based teaching strategies we share apply universally because they’re based on how the human brain learns. Whether you teach kindergarten or high school, elementary or secondary, you’ll find practical working memory strategies for classroom use and other cognitive science approaches that work.
We offer flexible formats for our cognitive science professional development: half-day workshops (3-4 hours), full-day workshops (6-7 hours), multi-day intensive training (2-3 days), and ongoing faculty workshops series. We can customize the neuroscience in education training to fit your school’s schedule and professional development needs.

Booking & Logistics

Contact us through our contact page or email us directly. We’ll discuss your needs, whether you’re looking for teacher professional development workshops, brain-based leadership training for school leaders, or instructional leadership training workshop programs. We work with individual schools, entire districts, and education organizations for neuroscience professional development for educators.
Yes! We offer both in-person and virtual formats for all our teacher training programs. Our virtual neuroscience for teachers workshops are highly interactive and include breakout sessions, collaborative activities, and practical application. The evidence-based teaching strategies are equally effective whether delivered online or in person.
Our cognitive science professional development works well with groups of 15-100+ participants. For more intimate faculty workshops focused on deep implementation, we recommend 15-30 educators. For school-wide or district-wide teacher professional development workshops, we can accommodate larger groups while maintaining engagement and interactivity.
Pricing varies based on workshop format, duration, location, and group size. We offer competitive rates for evidence-based teaching training and can provide custom packages for school leadership professional development workshops or multi-session teacher training programs.

Content & Outcomes

Educators leave with practical working memory strategies for classroom implementation, brain-based teaching techniques for student engagement, evidence-based approaches to managing cognitive load, motivation science strategies that work, ready-to-use resources and templates, and a deeper understanding of learning science research. All materials support immediate application in K-12 education.
Absolutely! Every strategy we teach is grounded in peer-reviewed cognitive science research, educational neuroscience studies, and learning science findings. We cite our sources and explain the research behind each brain-based teaching strategy. This isn’t edu-fads. It’s research-based teaching backed by decades of cognitive science for teachers studies.
Unlike generic professional development, our workshops focus specifically on how the brain learns. We provide neuroscience in education training that’s both scientifically rigorous and practically applicable. Rather than quick tips, we help you understand the ‘why’ behind evidence-based education strategies, enabling you to adapt cognitive science principles to any classroom instruction situation.
Yes! We provide resources for ongoing implementation, optional follow-up sessions for deeper learning, classroom cognitive science consultant services, and connection to a community of educators using brain-based teaching. We want the cognitive science professional development to create lasting change, not just a one-time experience.

For School Leaders

Yes! We provide specialized school leadership professional development workshops that apply cognitive science for school leaders. Topics include instructional leadership training workshop content, using educational neuroscience to guide school improvement, building a culture of evidence-based education, and leading faculty workshops in learning science. Perfect for principals, assistant principals, and district administrators.
Definitely! We offer comprehensive support for schools wanting to embed brain-based teaching across all classrooms. This includes initial teacher training programs, leadership coaching, implementation planning, ongoing faculty workshops, and classroom cognitive science consultant visits to support sustained change in instructional practice.
Our instructional leadership training workshop programs combine cognitive science for school leaders with practical management strategies. Leaders learn how to observe for evidence-based teaching strategies, provide feedback grounded in learning science, design effective teacher professional development workshops, and create systems that support research-based teaching across K-12 education.

Books & Resources

Not necessary! Our neuroscience for teachers workshops are designed to stand alone. However, reading our books on cognitive science for teachers, working memory strategies, or motivation science can deepen your understanding and provide additional evidence-based teaching resources. Many educators use our books for ongoing professional learning after workshops.
Yes! Our books are widely used in pre-service teacher training programs, graduate education courses, professional learning communities, book study groups, and faculty workshops. They provide comprehensive coverage of educational neuroscience, learning science, and evidence-based teaching strategies perfect for K-12 teacher development.
Explore our Resources section for book reviews, recommended reading lists, podcasts about cognitive science professional development, and our blog featuring articles on brain-based teaching, working memory strategies for classroom use, motivation theory, and more evidence-based education topics.
