Science of Learning (SoL) is an interdisciplinary approach that examines the processes underlying learning and memory, and the conditions that optimise learning experiences.
With the latest SoL research, educators and school leadership are able to understand how the brain acquires and processes information, so there can be more effective, engaging and inclusive learning environments for students.
