Description¶

The resource recommends a staged approach to applying learning sciences research in classrooms, warning that "applying learning sciences research in practice can involve trial and error". It advises educators to work with an instructional coach or peer group to create a plan, focus on one insight at a time, gather data along the way, and involve students in the process.

Design Implications¶
