    Dr. Adam Brown and Dr. Althea Need Kaminske (formerly Bauernschmidt) published their book "Five Teaching and Learning Myths - Debunked" in March. Drawing from research in developmental and educational psychology, cognitive science, and the learning sciences, "Five Teaching and Learning Myths―Debunked" addresses some of the most commonly misunderstood educational and cognitive concerns in teaching and learning. Multitasking, problem-solving, attention, testing, and learning styles are all integral to student achievement but, in practice, are often muddled by pervasive myths. In a straightforward, easily digestible format, this book unpacks the evidence for or against each myth, explains the issues concisely and with credible evidence, and provides busy K-12 teachers with actionable strategies for their classrooms and lesson plans. Brown and Kaminske also held their second workshop in their Better Teaching Through Research Series on March 10. Fifteen faculty and staff from across the university attended the workshop focused on the research behind using retrieval practice in the classroom.
