 Hello everyone, I hope you're well. Ross here at Teacher Talk. Sorry, it's been some time since her last posted a live video. I've got something quite exciting to share with you. I've been working on this for quite some time. So you'll know that I've published a book on the brain and memory trying to unpick how we learn and how this makes me a better teacher. I'm not a cognitive scientist, but I am a teacher. I'm someone that's interested in cognitive science and cognitive neuropsychology. And thinking about how this will improve the way that we teach, how we learn is an important thing for all teachers to know, perhaps parents too. So drawing upon my website analytics of 17.5 million of you have read this website, Teacher Talkit, the average reading time is 72 seconds. So why not turn all the research of the book into bite-sized summaries? So very slim and to my mark, planned teach cartoons are published a number of years ago. So let me just show you these first of all. So all the schools I work with will get all these free for the teachers in our CPD resource back. Here's the one page summary of all the chapters inside the book. So let me just rewind to what those are. So the first chapter looks at the history of the brain, its evolution dated back to 1700 BC. How memories shaped anatomically? The question I oppose myself is, does this make me a better teacher? The types of memory, so short, long working, semantic, episodic, etc. What they all are, what they mean for teachers in the classroom, what can we do? How learning is emotional and what teachers can do to support or hinder this process? What's cognitive load theory? So buzzword here in the England. So what is the theory from Sweller in 1988? And what does it look like in practice? Pneumonics and mental models of learning. How do you remember the alphabet? What are the colors of the rainbow? How do you remember these things using some study skills? I've also looked at brain plasticity. So how we shape our neurons, our synapses, our connections. What happens when we have an accident or we develop disease? What's cognitive apprenticeship? Not many teachers know what that is. So I've been sharing this piece of research with teachers on my travels. Our links to exercise, diet, sleep, screen time, etc. And what we can do as educators and as teachers and then how to turn all this back into our teacher training settings. So just as a reminder, I'm going to show you all these 10 cartoons. You can download them on my site. So first of all, if I work with your teachers in your school, you're going to get all these for nothing newsletter. Subscribers will get all these tomorrow evening. And Joe Public or Joanne Public on the website will have to part with some hard cash. These are taken quite a number of days to produce. So this is chapter one, the overview of the brain. So this is a one page summary of the four or five thousand words and research I've unpicked in the brain. So look at the history, some myths, what's cognitive neuroscience, what's cognitive psychology, our limbic system. And a lot of this is useful reminders that might be new to you. So that's intrinsic extraneous load if you're familiar with cognitive load theory. What happens when we shape memory anatomically? What happens when two neurons connect? We have 86 to 100 billion in our adult brain and they can form one trillion synapses. So what happens when that happens when memory actually forms? So there's your one page summary, chapter three types of memory. So over here we've got explicit implicit types, the hippocampi inside what it is. And this methodology we can use in our curriculum plans and for the emotional side of learning. So when we get stressed or excited, so adrenaline and cortisol, etc. When we get a dopamine hit from the reward loops are well done Ross. I'm really pleased with your work today. What happens there in our classrooms when we give somebody a piece of praise cognitive load theory. So swelling 1988 what it is what it looks like, how we're helping students move from novice towards expertise. How we can manage intrinsic and extraneous loads of internal and external factors. Chapter six looks at mental models for learning. So this is all here telling stories, dual coding, such as I'm doing here, seven brain plasticity. So, you know, the central nervous system neurotransmitters what what are the physical changes in our brain through through healthy or unhealthy episodes cognitive apprenticeship. Apologies for the preview link on the I need to delete that the process of model scaffolds fade and coaches the traditional teachings. This is what we do every day. But how do we bring learning to life? How do we make it visible? Well, we need to identify, situate and diversify and make connections to the real world. So this is what great teaching looks like. And then we'll all be familiar with the screen time diet exercise and sleep. So Lincoln is this all to the peanut gland in the brain, the cacodian rhythm, how it helps us regulate our sleep. And then the final one is everything I've unpicked. How do you deliver this is productive and meaningful CPD for people back at your organization. So professional development. So the little one page summary there. So there's 11 sheets in total on this download at 60 second reads there. They are all there. I'm glad to have got these done. So the book was published in June 2020. And it's taken me this long to actually sit down and get them all done and get them all on the page. So there might be one or two. I'm just going to proofread it all again, but I'm confident it's 99% accurate. And when you download it and receive it, I hope it's of use just as a reminder or fact, I haven't remind you. So let me just let you be known that you're there's a private webinar on memory included in this download. There's an audio introduction to the book if you need help get into sleep. And there is also a special discount code that you won't find anywhere else on the worldwide web. We can purchase the full book if the sketch notes wet your appetite. So I'm going to leave things there. Apologies for the silence, but things have been busy physically and remotely. And I hope to get back to small live streams soon. Other than that, I hope you're well. I hope you're safe and happy and thanks for watching. See you soon.
