How You & Your Team Can Learn Data Skills More Effectively

Education can be the silver bullet for increasing productivity and personal satisfaction. Unfortunately, bad education is at best a waste of time and money, and at worst is demotivating. Fortunately, decades of research mean that we know a lot about how to teach well and how to learn well.

In this session Jo Boaler, the Nomellini & Olivier Professor of Mathematics Education at Stanford University, explains what we know about how to learn quantitative subjects well. You'll learn about the power of mindset on learning, the impact of physical movement and communication on understanding, and other techniques from neuroscience on how to learn in a more effective way. The techniques discussed originate from research in neuroscience and the learning sciences, but are also applicable to the world of data. Whether you are a teacher or a learner, you'll discover ways to improve your training program.
