There’s a science to adolescent learning, which addresses how the many changes — physical, emotional, social, intellectual and psychological — teenagers experience impact how they learn and should impact how educators instruct. A new report from the Alliance for Excellent Education offered strategies for making sure that “critical education decisions are driven by science,” as author Bob Wise put it. The Alliance is non-profit that advocates for all students to excel in high school, ready for college, career and citizenship, especially those in under-performing or underserved environments. Science of learning draws from brain and cognitive research and the social sciences. Now the Alliance, known as All4Ed proposes setting itself up as a “broker” to make sure science of adolescent learning (SAL) “knowledge is adopted and implemented.” The report was published as part of a launch of a new initiative focused on bringing the science of adolescent learning into education policy and practice.
