Teacher Toolkit Guides transform the theory of education into practical ideas for your classroom.

Unlock the power of cognitive science in your classroom; from memory and metacognition to motivation and mental health!

From Ross Morrison McGill, bestselling author of Mark. Plan. Teach. 2.0, this guide explores the intersection of neuroscience, psychology and education, supporting teachers with their understanding of how students learn best. Drawing on expert research from neuroeducation and cognitive psychology, The Teacher Toolkit Guide to the Science of Learning translates scientific insights into actionable teaching techniques. It equips teachers with a foundational knowledge of cognitive science by dispelling neuromyths, developing awareness for neurodiverse students and introducing evidence-based approaches to improve teaching and learning.

-------------------

Each book in the Teacher Toolkit Guides series explores a key principle of teaching and learning, and offers research-based techniques to transform classroom practice. Each book includes ready-to-use templates and worked examples. Supported by infographics, charts and diagrams, these guides are a must-have for any teacher, in any school, and at any level.

Critic reviews

‘A backstage pass into the brain itself. Ross brilliantly reveals not just how we learn, but how much we misunderstand about learning. I finished this book feeling like my thinking had been rewired.’
'As a school leader with a passion for teaching and learning, this book gives much to think about.'
'McGill has truly brought together the science behind teaching AND learning.'
'Ross has done it again! Grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience, his book turns fMRI research into practical, inclusive strategies that educators can use immediately in their classrooms to support all learners.'
‘For years, as a teacher trainer, I have recognised, and taught, the importance of neuroscience, but we have generally lacked a clear, simple and up-to-date book. Ross Morrison McGill is now about to launch what is set to be one of the most definitive guides to cognitive science.’
‘Reading this book was like being given the best advice from your most admired colleague. It opens your eyes to the treasure trove of scientific research into learning and gives you the confidence to use this in your every day practice.’
‘[The book] does not disappoint, grounded in a deep understanding of how students think and learn. Ultimately, it doesn’t ask teachers to do more, it helps us do what we already do, better.’
‘This is the kind of book that should be part of every teacher training course and found in every staffroom library.’
‘As more students are identified as neurodivergent, this book offers a truly informative and practical approach to supporting all learners in the classroom. It’s already changed my teaching practice and how I help other teachers develop.’
‘Ross expertly connects the art and science of teaching, making neuroeducation clear, practical and immediately useful for educators, leaders and CPD leads who want to better understand how learning happens and how this can strengthen classroom practice.’
‘The beauty of this book is that it breaks down and supports how we learn. As ever, Ross has given really clear models that are easy to understand and apply, to work with driving improvement at a whole school level!’
‘Ross has produced something that allows us to fully understand how we learn with tangible and focused opportunities to put it into practice. A helpful and informative book that reminds me why I teach, while showing how to make processes simpler.’
‘The connection between neuroscience and practical pedagogy is blended seamlessly, from the ‘debunking board’ to useful classroom checklists. This guide stands out by offering educators an entirely different way to understand thinking, memory and learning.’
