 Patrice Bain, Teacher, Author, Speaker, Consultant In this episode I have the honor to speak with Patrice Bain, who is a co-author of an excellent book "Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning." Besides being an author, Patrice is an educator, teacher and consultant. After reading her book and speaking with her, I now see that we tend to put a lot of emphasis on encoding when it comes to learning. Encoding is putting things in our heads usually through teaching. But learning is manifested when we can get things out of our head, not just in short term to ace tests in schools, but in long-term when we can use that knowledge to think critically. Though Patrice;s focus was to test out cognitive research findings in her classrooms, but the learning strategies she used in her classroom can easily be tweaked and used outside classrooms such as advanced study, workplace and individually to become a lifelong learner. I think you will get a lot out of this interview, but to make it stick, please refer to other resources (patricebain.com and powerfulteaching.org) and you will get more details in her book "Powerful Teaching:Unleash the Science of Learning" which I have been recommending to anyone who wants to learn how to learn for themselves or to parents who want to help their children become powerful learners. If you have time constraints, you can use the time stamps to go to the part that interests you.
