We are looking for speakers to tell us all about how they implement cogsci in their classrooms.
Or maybe you want to talk about evidence for certain implementation strategies?

PROFESSOR @dylanwiliam IN THE HOUSE
It was a real honour for me and @amymayforrester to interview Dylan and to talk all things schools, formative assessment, data, effective altruism and teacher improvement.
Not to be missed, please share!

*New post* Eddie and the Art of Surprise: Does greater insight into how the mind works always make us a better teacher? (link below).

Good to see a CogSciSci alums ideas breaking through.
Adam has been talking about predictive processing at our conferences the last few years.
His insights and argument are compelling.
He wrote a blog on our website outlining the basics
Been reading a lot about predictive processing and I think it's almost certainly going to be the next frontier of learning science and instructional design, particularly with the emergence of LLMs. One of the best voices on this from an education perspective is @AdamWteach and this is another great post from him:

The end of the 2025 term meant a bit of a SM hiatus for me. After my final school visit, SM was discarded (as too were emails and anything work) - sometimes the need for a clean break is so overwhelming - and recognising the signs of burnout are crucial.
But, having had a few weeks away from posting selfies outside every location I visit, I'm 'back', somewhat!
I'm going to kick off by sharing my 6 hours worth of free PD that I ran over June and July. Within the 6 sessions, I explored metacognitive theory, questioning, modelling, revision, independence and so much more.
All of these session are still free to access, and all hosted on my websites. Moreover, all of the session slides are there too - all free to access.
So if you're looking for some summer PD, this might be the place to go!

NEW BLOG
Why are teachers so hard to develop?
This blog outlines three of the key reasons I explore and offers some solutions link below
If you have received bad CPD or find it frustrating when staff revert back to old habits, then share this post to spread the word 🙏
Any thoughts? I would love to hear peoples views whichever way! open.substack.com/pub/predic……
