This asynchronous course helps educators understand how learning actually happens — and where it breaks down. Using a clear information-processing framework, participants explore how attention, working memory, belonging, elaboration, and consolidation influence whether ideas move into long-term memory. Rather than prescribing specific teaching moves, the course uses the science of learning as a lens for professional judgment, helping educators make intentional design decisions that reduce overload, strengthen thinking, and increase the likelihood that learning sticks, especially in international and multilingual classrooms.

Designed for international and multilingual school contexts, this course translates the science of learning into a practical framework for instructional design. Through short modules organized around the stages of information processing, educators examine where learning commonly falters and how thoughtful decisions about task design, talk, cognitive load, and retrieval can strengthen understanding. The focus is not on adopting a set of strategies, but on developing a sharper lens for planning lessons that protect attention, support working memory, and build durable learning over time.
