The Learning Scientists

Here's a recommendation: in an earlier posting, (Should Teachers Know the Basic Science of How Children Learn?), I mentioned the American Federation of Teachers, who publish the "Ask the Cognitive Scientist" series.

Among the multitude of other resources available on their site is a website called The Learning Scientists.org. The AFT describes it as "a website written by four cognitive psychologists interested in education." The Learning Scientists describe themselves as "Making scientific research on learning more accessible to students, teachers, and other educators." Yes, there are four main writers, but quite a collection of collaborators and scientists as well.

This is a very up-to-date, diverse, accessible site worth visiting and exploring if you are a teacher interested in cognitive science.

Which you should be. Honest. Give it a look.
