480: Learning Isn't Content with Dr. Tessa Forshaw

Learning is, at its root, a neurobiological process. But most workplace learning doesn’t recognize that reality.In this episode of the Leading Learning Podcast, co-host Celisa Steele talks with Dr. Tessa Forshaw, cognitive scientist and faculty member at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, where she studies how people work, learn, and create in the flow of their work. They discuss five principles grounded in learning science and what each means for how learning experiences should be designed. The conversation also explores the specific advantages external learning businesses have when applying these principles and why making space for metacognition may be the single most impactful thing you can do to improve your programs.Show notes and a downloadable transcript are available at https://www.leadinglearning.com/episode480.
