Dr. David Daniel - James Madison University

We have been excited to partner with Dr. Daniel on developing a model of learning for our teachers and students. Dr. Daniel’s expertise has also been invaluable in designing the Science of Teaching Workshop for new faculty. His years of experience in the field of Mind, Brain, and Education and commitment to helping teachers further develop their teaching is transforming how we talk about learning at Breck.

St. Andrew’s School in Potomac, MD 

As an Academy School, this summer, we supported a third group of faculty to attend the CTTL Summer Academy. The Science of Teaching and School Leadership Academy is a five-day deep dive into Mind, Brain, Education science and how this research can inform, validate, and transform teaching and learning. Purposefully designed for educators within all school settings, the Academy develops public, charter, private, state, and international school educators' MBE knowledge, mindsets, and translational skills. In addition to the on-site Academy experience, each Academy participant traveled to Johns Hopkins for a  “Science in Action Day,” where they met researchers and saw their work firsthand. After the Academy, participants receive ongoing mentoring and programmatic support throughout the school year. The Academy is co-designed by the Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning and individual faculty from the Johns Hopkins University Science of Learning Institute.
