These resources—co-authored with our board member, Dr. Bror Saxberg—synthesize a wealth of research on the questions, How does learning happen?, and How can we create environments that best support it?
Both resources delve into four factors that play a critical role in learning—cognition, motivation, identity, and individual variability.
We’ve articulated 16 principles derived from synthesizing key points of consensus across academic and practice-based research. For each principle, we’ve noted research-based implications for the design of learning environments.
We hope these resources complement the exciting, growing body of research on how learning happens in a way that supports whole-school design. We invite you to read the resources, and we’d love for you to share any feedback by emailing Cynthia Leck (cynthia@transcendeducation.org).
