How can
In the last 20 years, the cognitive sciences have revealed fresh, surprising, and useful insights into how and why our students learn. Teachers can now draw on psychology and neuroscience research to supplement, reconsider, even overturn our traditions and training. To use this research most wisely, teachers must find our way to an elusive Goldilocks Zone.
Instead of resisting all research-based guidance, we should be ready to take it to heart –even when it challenges both our training and conventional wisdom. Instead of accepting all research-based guidance, we should be ready to reject it emphatically – especially the hyped-up edu-fads that exaggerate and misinterpret psychology findings.

How can we get this Goldilocks balance “just right”? This book offers a specific, practical quest map to discover just such a balance. By critically examining the source, the research, and ourselves, teachers can develop the skills necessary to be effective research skeptics.
Written by a teacher with 18 years in the classroom – and 13 years studying neuroscience and psychology – The Goldilocks Map transforms brain research from a daunting monologue into an approachable, exciting, and lively conversation.

They integrate so well with our CPD and teacher development programme at Oldham College and our tutors and assessors really like using them. The WalkThrus have given me the power to create self-improving environments in which teachers can be trusted to do their jobs without being micromanaged. Such freedoms have equipped staff with inspiring strategies and have literally laid down the groundwork to develop sustained, self-motivated teams. In remote NW Ghana, there are limited resources and few opportunities for professional development. WalkThrus give us access to the best thinking and simple, co-ordinated pedagogical training materials. Working with the WalkThrus team, we have tailored the content and delivery to our needs.
