Trusted by Experts in Education and Neuroscience
I highly recommend this micro-course – it's like First Aid for classroom instruction. The concepts covered are essential-these are strategies every teacher should have learned during their bachelor program. For experienced teachers, this course offers a valuable opportunity to refine and prioritize your instructional approaches using educational psychology. It equips you with practical tools to systematically create a supportive, effective classroom environment year after year. Whether you are new to teaching or a seasoned educator, you’ll find actionable ideas that can be immediately implemented to enhance your teaching practice.
Teachers are masters of their subject areas, but they’re rarely given access to the science of how students absorb, process, and retain information—or what gets in the way. This micro-video series provides the foundation for concise, neuroscience-based modules. It helps turn instinct and experience into intentional action, transforming good teaching into lasting learning.
This Micro-Course program truly changed how I approach teaching. Understanding the brain's role in learning and stress has helped me create a more supportive and engaging classroom. I've learned practical strategies to manage my own stress while better supporting my students' emotional needs. It has made me a more patient, connected, and effective teacher. I'm grateful for the tools and insights I have gained. Thank you, CheckIT Learning for providing such valuable and impactful training!
