The Future of Learning and Education

Speakers: Jacqueline Simmons, EdD, Senior Lecturer and Vice Chair, Department of Curriculum & Teaching at Teachers College, and Lila Davachi, PhD, Professor of Psychology at Columbia University Moderator: Katie Insel, PhD, postdoctoral researcher in the Learning Lab at Columbia’s Zuckerman Institute What do we teach? Who gets to decide? How do we use brain science to inform those choices? As educators and parents face new challenges and are presented with new technology, it is essential that we find ways to incorporate research into how we learn and remember into curriculum and education design. In this virtual Stavros Niarchos Foundation Brain Insight Lecture Series event, we hear two 15-minute talks from experts from Columbia University whose work covers different aspects of learning and education. Dr. Jacqueline Simmons discusses how we decide what is considered knowledge worth knowing, and how to think about teaching and learning in order to guide more effective curriculum design. Dr. Lila Davachi discusses the neuroscience of learning, and how both stability and changes in context can affect what we learn and how we retain it. Following the two talks, Dr. Katie Insel, moderates a discussion, addressing audience questions and topics such as how we can translate science into curriculum and validate the tools we use to teach and measure learning. This talk is part of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Brain Insight Lecture series, offered free to the public to enhance understanding of the biology of the mind and the complexity of human behavior. The lectures are hosted by Columbia’s Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute and supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
