What the Brain Actually Says About How Kids Learn | Dr. Claire Honeycutt | Neuroscientist, Researcher & Homeschool Mom

from More than One Way to Live a Principled Life · host Dee Dee Vicino

Dr. Claire Honeycutt spent nearly two decadesstudying how the brain learns — as a researcher, a professor, and an NIH fellow trained in the science of teaching. Then COVID brought her kids home, and everything she knew about learning had to be rebuilt from scratch at the kitchen table.In this episode, she joins Dee Dee to talk about whatneuroscience actually tells us about how children learn best, why the education research most schools rely on is deeply flawed, and how she’s found a way to hold two opposing philosophies — classical structure and child-led freedom — atthe same time.This one is for every parent who’s ever wondered: are weasking the right questions about how our kids learn?DISCLAIMER: Any reference to a 'husband' in this podcast refers to my long-term partner with whom I cohabitate.
