Science of Learning Course and Micro-Credential

Teaching the lesson is one thing.
But do you know how students really learn?

Students can sit through a lesson, complete the assignment, and still struggle to retain what they learned.

CELL’s Science of Learning Micro-Credential helps educators understand why—and what to do about it.

This flexible, 8-week online program translates cognitive science research into practical classroom strategies that improve retention, engagement, and achievement. Participants will explore how the brain learns, challenge common assumptions about teaching and learning, and gain strategies they can apply immediately.

In This Course, You’ll Learn How To:

• Design lessons that align with how the brain processes and stores information
• Apply evidence-based strategies such as spacing, retrieval practice, and effective questioning
• Reduce cognitive overload to improve attention, retention, and recall
• Strengthen instructional decisions with research-backed practices that support student success

Whether you’re a teacher, instructional coach, administrator, or higher education faculty member, you’ll leave with practical tools you can use right away—and a micro-credential that demonstrates your expertise.
