Ideas

At the heart of our work is learning -- what it is, how it happens, what supports or undermines it, and how we know it when we see it. We are evidence-based; we depend on the neurosciences, cognitive psychology, and the scholarship of teaching and learning to ground our projects and reports. We continue to contribute to the published literature in higher education and to meaningful leadership activities in professional organizations.
