From July 14 - 18, 2025, Learning & the Brain is offering a Summer Institute on the oceanside campus of UCSB.
Over the last two decades, tremendous strides have been made in de-mystifying the human learning process. Extensive scientific research has successfully established that, far from being strictly conceptual, much of learning adheres to predictable and reliable neurobiological processes.
However, despite considerable efforts, much of this work has not made it from the laboratory into the classroom.
The aim of this program is to not only introduce educators to the modern Science of Learning, but also to equip them with a simple process for defining and gathering evidence of impact in their own practice. Together, we will begin bridging the longstanding gap between theory and practice that has eluded researchers and practitioners.
This institute is hands-on and is limited to 45 participants.
