[ RESHAPING EDUCATION WEBINAR ]
Effective Learning in the Age of Uncertainty
Did you know that it’s possible to structure our learning environments in such a way as to actually guard against forgetting? Join us to learn more about how we learn, the process of building long-term memory, and practical retrieval practices that can be implemented right now to make learning stick. We'll share strategies that work in brick-and-mortar classrooms, virtual classroom spaces, or a hybrid of both.

Webinar Details
During this roundtable discussion with Dr. Bob Hausmann, Cognitive Scientist and Author, and Jessica Padilla, Director of Professional Learning Programs, you will:
- Learn more about the science behind how people learn.
- Understand the importance of utilizing empirically validated strategies to make learning stick, regardless of the setting.
- Explore practical retrieval practices that can be implemented right now to ensure effective learning in today’s age of uncertainty.
Meet the Hosts
Dr. Bob Hausmann, Cognitive Scientist
Dr. Bob joined Carnegie Learning in 2009 as a Cognitive Scientist. He received his PhD in Cognitive Psychology in 2005 from the University of Pittsburgh under the direction of Dr. Michelene T.H. Chi, and he received additional training at the Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center (PSLC) as a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Kurt VanLehn and Dr. Timothy J. Nokes-Malach. In his spare time, Dr. Bob publishes a blog entitled Dr. Bob's Cog Blog, and is the author of the book Cognitive Science for Educators: Practical suggestions for an evidence-based classroom. The unifying theme that runs throughout all of these activities is a drive toward helping every student become an expert in a domain of her or his choice. When he isn’t thinking about cognitive science, which is rare, Dr. Bob enjoys long-distance running, mountain biking, and traveling with his wife.
Jessica Padilla, Director of Professional Learning Programs
Jessica is the Director of Professional Learning Programs for Carnegie Learning. She began her career in education as a middle school mathematics teacher and taught for five years in both Philadelphia School District schools and charter schools. Jessica then moved into a central office role at a charter school network where she coached school leaders and led a large-scale implementation of the Carnegie Learning Middle School Math Solution.Jessica studied at the University of Pennsylvania to earn her current Pennsylvania teaching certificate in Secondary Mathematics; she has also studied Education Leadership at Temple University.
Jessica is passionate about building number fluency from conceptual understanding. She believes that effective teaching practices have the potential to open up greater opportunities for high-order thinking and to raise the mathematics achievement of ALL students.
