Implementing the science of learning workshop

In a world first, we will be hearing from real teachers discussing their real-world challenges in implementing the science of learning. Dr Nathaniel Swain and Brendan Lee will then guide teachers and school leaders through some possible solutions, taking an evidence-informed approach. To respect people's privacy, this session will not be recorded.

Dr Nathaniel Swain

Dr Nathaniel Swain is a teacher, instructional coach and researcher. He has worked as a lecturer and research fellow, and in recent years, Nathaniel has been supporting schools and teachers to embed research-informed practices.

With expertise in language, literacy, instructional practices and cognitive science, Dr Swain is dedicated to empowering teachers to develop “life-changing” language and literacy skills in every student, through effective and engaging teaching. To this end, he has founded a national community of teachers, and registered charity: Think Forward Educators. Dr Swain produces a regular blog for teachers known as the Cognitorium. Nathaniel is passionate about language, knowledge-rich curricula and social justice. Nathaniel currently teaches Foundation at Brandon Park Primary, where he is also a Science of Learning Specialist. He is excited to be joining La Trobe School of Education as Senior Lecturer in January 2023.

Brendan Lee

Brendan Lee is a Primary School Assistant Principal in NSW. He has previously been a high school teacher and cafe owner! When he fell down the rabbit hole of educational research, he felt compelled to help bridge the gap between research and practice by supporting teachers in implementing the evidence.
