Bringing the science of learning to families and educators
L_rn is a Web portal (beta site at www.l-rn.com), scheduled to launch in June, that taps into evidence from the top researchers in neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology and education to translate the research into useful and usable knowledge for families and educators. L_rn will look at a wide range of topics - from play to stress, sleep to attention, STEM to the arts in ways that anyone preparing children to meet the challenges of the 21st century can tap into what the experts know about the way children grow and learn.
