We are the first generation to develop a deep understanding of how the brain learns, works, changes, and thrives. Yet, schools have changed so little as a result of what we have learned. What if we could change that? What if we took the most promising research- and evidence- backed strategies and trained every educator—from those in training to enter schools to those who are already leading classrooms, schools, and districts? Every educator would have a toolbox of strategies informed by the best of what we know works as well as the skill and confidence to adapt them to their particular context.
