The process of learning involves cooperation between the teacher and the student. Teachers traditionally spend a lot of time and energy learning and practicing their skills of communication and class management in order to improve their own ability to teach. It is less common that students put in the time to learn and practice the skills or best practices of learning itself. There are many potential reasons this is the case, but at Thales Academy, we advocate for students to take responsibility for their own learning since, after all, it is impossible to have a proxy do it for you.

In this webinar, Matt Ogle and Winston Brady will present some findings from modern scientific research about how we learn and take in information, along with studying tips to help students make the most of their time in school. Learning is not accomplished unless information can remember that information when they need it, and we hope to inspire all students to learn more effectively and make durable lasting memories.
