"In the past few decades, knowledge of human learning and development has proliferated rapidly.”

"The current approach to teaching is often disconnected from how students learn and causes too many students to drop-out, struggle, and/or work too hard to do well. This in turn, inhibits interest and careers in STEM, which are often perceived to be “too hard” by students or “for smart kids”

"Research has demonstrated that variation in student achievement is correlated with differences between teachers."

"...not only can we put cognitive science discoveries into practice, but I believe we're ethically obligated to do so. As in the rare clinical pharmaceutical trial that goes so well that the researchers pause the study and start handing out the lifesaving drugs of the control group, the benefits of cognitively friendly instruction are so profound that inaction at this point would be tantamount to malpractice. We have knowledge that can save students from the educational winnower and help them realize a lifelong love of learning. It's time to put that knowledge to work."
