About this episode

Dr. Nancy Casey, associate professor of education, presents Why We (Should) Teach the Way We (Should) Teach: How Learning Theory Should Impact the Design of Classroom Experiences. Casey's presentation focuses on how learning should directly impact how teachers teach. "New research on the brain and traditional learning theory provide powerful guidance for teachers at all levels," said Casey. "In any teaching-learning situation, teachers must be guided about what we know about learning and how learners learn. They must design their teaching to be responsive to the needs of the learners." Casey stresses that teachers at all levels need to acknowledge that the important thing is not the teaching, but the learning. This presentation is part of the Extraordinary Classroom Experience Series at St. Bonaevnture University.
