Neuroscientists have made enormous strides in understanding the brain and how we learn, but little of that insight has filtered down to the way teachers teach. Uncommon Sense Teaching applies this research to the classroom for teachers, parents, and anyone interested in improving education. Drawing on research findings as well as the authors’ combined decades of experience in the classroom,Uncommon Sense Teaching equips readers with the tools to enhance their teaching, whether they’re seasoned professionals or parents trying to offer extra support for their children’s education. Rather than publish it as an expensive textbook, the trio opted to go through the challenging process of selling the concept to a leading mass-market publisher, Penguin Random House, so it would be affordable and accessible. “My BU students’ feedback helped make the book clear and relatable,” says Rogowsky. “This is the book that I wish I had when I began my teaching career, but it couldn’t have been written in the 1990s because we needed to tap into the most recent neuroscience that wasn’t even available or known about in some cases until just a few years ago.”
