Foreward
Fortunately - help is at hand! Learning processes have been extensively researched and, increasingly, teachers are exploring how to implement ideas from research in their day to day practice. Patrice Bain has been at the forefront of this work for many years. I've enjoyed hearing her tell the story of researchers coming to study her classroom a few times and it's never short of totally inspiring! Her book, Powerful Teaching, written with Pooja Agarwal represents a perfect example of research and practice developing in tandem, each influencing the other. This is exactly the kind of information and inspiration that teachers need.
A final point to note about this fabulous book is the rather brilliant and highly original final section about influencers and sources of inspiration. Each contributor has set who influenced them in the world of cognitive science, coupled to some references to their own work. Patrice is giving people space to honor the work of others in a manner that is absolutely typical of her generosity of spirit and her determination to spread the love for educational research and evidence-informed teaching.
