by David Meyer

To make sure your students retain their lessons, engage their brains’ memory systems!

“Fire Together, Wire Together”

In this practical teaching guide, professors Barbara Oakley, Beth Rogowsky and Terrence J. Sejnowski share their knowledge of educational methods and the neuroscience of learning. They help teachers understand how their students’ brains work and show them how to meet individual student’s needs. 

Barbara Oakley, PhD teaches bioengineering and neuroscience at Michigan’s Oakland University. Beth Rogowsky, EdD teaches education at the Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, and Terrence J. Sejnowski, PhD teaches computational neurobiology at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies.
