The CTTL

The Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning at St. Andrew's translates the latest Mind, Brain, and Education research into classroom practice.

Our vision is a world where every teacher understands how every student’s brain learns. The CTTL’s mission is to create and innovate in the field of Mind, Brain and Education Science research to allow teachers to maximize their effectiveness and students to achieve their highest potential.

Schools don’t change through inspiration alone, they change through shared language and shared practice.

One powerful first step: align on what terms like “cognitive load,” “retrieval practice,” and “belonging” mean and what they look like in classrooms.

Neuroteach Global® (and Neuroteach Global Student®) were built for real schools with real time constraints: 10–15 minutes a day, anytime/anywhere, with research-informed strategies you can actually apply.

Understanding Neuroplasticity as an educator is knowing that instruction changes brains over time. When we design for attention, memory, emotion, and belonging, we’re aligning daily practice with how learning actually works. Our 2026 Fall Webinar is launching soon and will focus on redesigning teaching, learning, and schooling through the Science of Learning. Teachers and school leaders will walk away with strategies that translate into classrooms immediately.

Before the session, take the free Neuroeducation Confidence Diagnostic (NECD) to get a snapshot of your current Science of Learning knowledge and application.

Neuromyths spread because they sound scientific.

As we head into a new school year, we’re running a quick series: common “brain-based” claims we still hear and how to think about them through evidence.

What’s one learning/brain claim you’ve heard that you’re not sure about?

We're honored to receive a shoutout in the latest NAIS brochure! We couldn't ask for a greater compliment than to see a school model the research presented in the book "Neuroteach", align its concepts with its mission, and implement Science of Learning / Mind Brain and Education strategies to "Educate Boldly."

Kudos to Becky Smith, Claire Gonzalez, and the entire team at The Harpeth Hall School!

Early-career educators (0–3 years): what surprised you most about teaching? Drop it in the comments. Tell us what support would actually help (not just “one more strategy”).

We’re building a Teacher Journey series to connect educators with research-informed moves at every phase. Check out this resource here https://www.thecttl.org/teacher-journey/

As pre-season practices begin, coaches are doing more than building skills and preparing for competition. They are shaping how student-athletes learn, respond to feedback, manage stress, build belonging, and develop confidence. ⚽ 🏈 🏃‍♀️‍➡️ 🎾 🏑 🏐

In “Coaching the Student Athlete’s Brain,” The CTTL explores how the same research that helps teachers better understand how students learn can also help coaches support the athletic, social, emotional, and identity development of the young people on their teams.

Read the blog and reach out to The CTTL to learn how we are training sport coaches in the Science of Learning and how we might collaborate with your athletic department.

Young learners need more “chit-chat” in school, not less.

In a new Education Week opinion piece, CTTL Lower School Research Lead Tia Henteleff makes the case for protecting conversation in early learning classrooms. She explains how everyday exchanges help children develop oral language, literacy skills, executive function, relationships, and a stronger sense of belonging.

A huge thank-you to our Translation Group leaders.

All week, they created space for reflection and community, helping Academy participants translate the science of learning into practice.

The conversations they guided will continue long after these four days.

Drop a shoutout for your Translation Group leader in the comments. 👇
