    Interesting & Informative
    There’s not been an episode that I haven’t learned something new that’s piqued my interest into further research. The content is always relatable and most time, easily applied in a classroom or school setting. Thank you so much for making research available to those doing the daily work!
  • August Consumer
    Great podcast
    Very informative. Well organized. Not like some pedantic academics. Effective communication, their students are lucky to have them. Thank you!

    Back to school
    As a mother of a young child and a non-traditional student going back to school for a second career, I love this podcast. It has helped me as a mother and as a student myself.
  • MizzDBanks
    Impressed Parent
    I love this podcast!!! As a parent of young children, I am so glad I found the LS site and podcast. Now I know the importance of teaching children how to learn and best retain information. It's also made me change my approach to teaching them at home (e.g., teaching a little bit of phonics every day instead of in a large block on the weekend; asking them spaced, verbal "quiz" questions a day, 5 days, even two weeks after say reading a book on polar bears (my kids are 2 and 5)). I'd love to hear more content on how parents can help their kids learn after school employing these techniques. I'm also an attorney. I find these tips helpful when I need to learn a new law that I have to advise on. I'd love to hear more about using these techniques in a professional context.

    Complex ideas in a highly digestible presentation
    If there were a mantra I carry with me about learning, and always will, it will be “retrieval enhances learning”. It’s something that was always innate within my study practices, but I never thought about *why* it was effective. And being conscience of doing it makes it that much more effective! Being aware of ones cognitive process helps anyone learn more efficiently. The tools and examples presented on these podcasts help with that awareness for teaching and learning!

    Excellent
    24 years into teaching and this has me working on new teaching ideas. Well worth it
  • Amy S- 6th grade teacher
    Fabulous for Teachers
    I learned about the Learning Scientists through Cult of Pedagogy and I absolutely fell in love with it. The learning strategies they discuss make so much sense. They ring true as a teacher. As I learn more about the strategies, it helps me sift through the less effective practices and activities out there and pick things that will actually help kids learn. It has helped to justify some of my practices such as putting old curriculum as one station in math rotations or having kids do retrieval on whiteboards as a warm up activity. I love listening to stuff like this, and I think any educator could benefit from hearing these ideas if only to strengthen their understanding of what they already know to be true.
  • Gretchenwegner
    I LOVE this podcast!
    As an academic coach who teaches study skills to students, this podcast is an invaluable resource. I was thrilled to interview the Learning Scientists on my own podcast, and I will be an avid listener here on out.
  • Polar Cat
    The LSs have revolutionised my teaching
    ...and these podcasts are clear and enjoyable with plenty of concrete examples and anecdotes. Required listening for teachers, parents and students.

    Great Research Briefs for Teachers
    This podcast is an accessible way for teachers to stay in touch with the latest research on how people learn. A wonderful resource to help us make our teaching more effective, and help our students become more effective and empowered learners.
  • J.D. Fisher
    Strategies for Teachers, Students, and Parents
    The Learning Scientists are a fantastic resource for implementable learning-improvement strategies for the classroom backed by the latest research. The material is always easy to understand, and I always come away from their podcasts or articles with something I can use in my work. Continued success.
