🧠 Effective teaching depends on understanding how learning happens.

Dan Willingham’s Simple Model of the Mind provides a practical lens for designing instruction grounded in key insights from cognitive science. It helps teachers avoid poor proxies for learning and make more deliberate decisions about what students attend to, think about, and remember.
