What Kappan readers have learned about learning

Kappan’s articles about learning have explored not just how students learn, but how researchers and educators can deepen their understanding of student learning.

One could make the argument that the bulk of Kappan’s content over the past 100 volumes has explored what we’ve learned about learning. Article after article has considered strategies, programs, and policies that promote student learning. Even articles about educator development have addressed, at least implicitly, the kinds of teacher learning that are most effective at helping students learn.

Some Kappan authors, though, have taken the discussion to another level, asking, in essence, how do we know what we know about learning? And when we make new discoveries about learning, how can we use them to inform teacher practice?
