She's been on the national education reform organizations, National Equity Project, the former Bay Area School Reform Collaborative, and she does work every single day around the idea of practice, specifically in culturally responsive teaching and instructional equity. We'll also hear from cognitive scientist, Pooja K. Agarwal, Ph.D. She is the author of the book Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning and an Assistant Professor at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, teaching psychological science to exceptional undergraduate musicians. Pooja's research has been published in leading peer-reviewed psychology journals; featured in the New York Times, Education Week, and Scientific American; recognized by the National Science Foundation; and highlighted in numerous books, podcasts, and videos.

After Dana read “The Power of Teaching”, he wanted to reshine a light on why retrieval practice is such a critical strategy for learning. Dana shares new insights from the book and the guys discuss strategies on how to do it yourselves, how to teach it, and how to support your learners in your learning experiences.

Classroom 2.0 LIVE webinar “Unleash the Science of Learning: Transform Teaching with Strategies from Cognitive Science” with special guest presenter, Pooja Agarwal, Ph.D. April 14, 2018. We are excited to welcome our special guest presenter, Pooja Agarwal, Ph.D, who will be sharing some fantastic information about the brain and memory! This is guaranteed to challenge all of our brains! She will be providing information about “retrieval practice” which is a learning strategy where you focus on getting information OUT of students' heads rather than trying to get it IN! Webinar Description: "Unleash the Science of Learning: Transform Teaching with Strategies from Cognitive Science" There is a lot to learn in the world. Students can’t learn everything, and educators can’t teach everything. Especially not over, and over, and over again each time students forget. What can we do to improve learning and reduce forgetting? How can we use our limited amount of classroom time and make learning stick? Based on more than 100 years of research, cognitive scientists have established powerful strategies that substantially improve learning for diverse age groups, subject areas, and education rigor. In this workshop, Assistant Professor and Cognitive Scientist Pooja K. Agarwal, Ph.D., goes behind the scenes and illuminates key discoveries, teaching strategies, and classroom resources based on the science of learning. Armed with evidence-based strategies, it’s time to challenge our perceptions of learning and transform teaching in our classrooms. Pooja K. Agarwal, Ph.D. is an expert in the field of cognitive science. She has conducted learning and memory research in a variety of classroom settings for more than 10 years. Passionate about evidence-based education, Pooja has extensive teaching experience in K-12 and higher education, as well as expertise in education policy at state and national levels. Currently, she is an Assistant Professor at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, teaching psychological science to exceptional undergraduate musicians. Pooja leads RetrievalPractice.org, a hub of cognitive science research, resources, and tips for educators. Pooja's research is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Education.
