About the Author
Sarah Cottingham is a teacher educator working on improving professional development for teachers and school leaders. She has an MA in Educational Neuroscience from UCL and Birkbeck university. Studying the brain helped deepen Sarah's fascination with how our memories work and how we can best support student learning.
Sarah is the author of Ausubel's Meaningful Learning in Action. Ausubel's assimilation theory of meaningful learning and retention has added a new dimension to Sarah's understanding of memory: meaningful learning is how students best develop vast bodies of knowledge. Sarah has written this book because she believes that Ausubel's theory deserves to reach a far wider audience: it has the power to change how teachers make decisions about curriculum, instruction and assessment to catalyse student learning.
Sarah also writes concise blogs that make complex concepts accessible and practical to teachers. You can read them at www.overpractised.com.

If you read this book, you won’t think about your teaching (and the meaning and learning children take from it) in the same way again.It’s a game changer.The book is helpfully split between theory and practical ideas.I’m in a primary setting but this book is relevant to anyone who teaches anything to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly influential piece of work, which we highly recommend
Sarah’s book is a wonderfully insightful, detailed, yet easy-to-read summary of Ausubel’s Meaningful Learning, offering practical strategies to help us translate meaningful learning into classroom practice. The thought and care Sarah has put into the communication throughout the book makes it really accessible and the book is grounded in research. Being evidence-led we build trust in the ideas and being about to think about assimilation with Sarah’s expertise to guide us, we have been able to try new ideas in the classroom with brilliant success. A truly influential piece of work, which we highly recommend.
