The three Neuroteach Global micro-courses included in Track 2 are Planning for Forgetting, Practice Made Perfect, and Building for Every Brain. By completing these three micro-courses, learners are prepared to:

• Describe the relationship between working memory and long-term memory

• Design your curriculum to teach study strategies alongside content

• Apply retrieval practice, spacing, and interleaving in curriculum design

• Balance direct instruction and assigned projects to build knowledge that is durable, usable, and flexible

• Explain why quality of homework is more impactful than the quantity of homework

• Design high-quality homework

• Reduce cognitive load for students when they are away from the classroom setting

• Make homework a time for independent practice and mistake-making

• Understand the importance of designing curriculum for learning variability

• Identify core competencies in advance, and have scaffolds prepared to help students with them

• Be prepared to choose teaching modalities based on content, not on perceived “learning styles”
