Neuroscientists and cognitive scientists have made enormous strides in understanding the brain and how we learn, but little of that insight has filtered down to the way teachers teach. Uncommon Sense Teaching applies this research to the classroom for teachers, parents, and anyone interested in improving education. Topics include: • keeping students motivated and engaged, especially with online learning • helping students remember information long-term, so it isn't immediately forgotten after a test • how to teach inclusively in a diverse classroom where students have a wide range of abilities Drawing on research findings as well as the authors' combined decades of experience in the classroom, Uncommon Sense Teaching equips readers with the tools to enhance their teaching, whether they're seasoned professionals or parents trying to offer extra support for their children's education. Review: 10 out of 10 - I love that this book talks about some high level neuroscience, but in a way that is easy to understand. I have adopted this book and its lessons into my teaching strategies and have seen great improvements. It even helped me better adapt the teaching methodologies that I train other educators on. Review: New torn book? Looking forward to reading still. - The book is promising. However I would like my books to not be torn/ripped. Dr. Oakley is amazing and this is not to belittle the book's contents - I just dont like how someone would be ok with packaging a NEW (not even used) book in this condition. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #21,414 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4 in Inclusive Education Methods #7 in Educational Psychology (Books) #41 in Biology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 645 Reviews | ## Images ![Uncommon Sense Teaching: Practical Insights in Brain Science to Help Students Learn - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lt-QLaDgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10 out of 10 *by A***E on January 31, 2026* I love that this book talks about some high level neuroscience, but in a way that is easy to understand.

Looking forward to reading still. *by A***N on August 30, 2025* The book is promising. However I would like my books to not be torn/ripped. Dr. Oakley is amazing and this is not to belittle the book's contents - I just dont like how someone would be ok with packaging a NEW (not even used) book in this condition. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great info for teachers, or anyone dealing with kids. Easy to understand explanations *by C***C on June 20, 2021* This book is a collaboration by three authors; Barb Oakley and Terry Sejnowski, creators of the popular course “Learning how to Learn,” and Beth Rogowsky, a lifelong educator and expert in behavioral neuroscience. The goal of the book is to give teachers new insights into how we learn, by using the latest neuroscience and cognition research. The book is written using basic language, and oversimplified examples, so that it should be fairly easy to understand even if you have no familiarity with the concepts at all. At first I was surprised by these elementary explanations; in fact many concepts are explained with pictures and analogies that I might use if I were explaining these ideas to children. Later I understood why the authors took this approach, because they actually recommend using some of the same images and analogies to explain certain ideas to your students. This seems like a good idea, because you can't teach children something if you don't really understand it yourself; and they have made this information easy to understand. Each chapter starts by introducing concepts, and giving the reader information about an aspect of how we learn and remember. Then there are specific activities and strategies suggested to use with your students. There are also general teaching tips listed, that have something to do with using the information on a daily basis. Each chapter ends with a review list of key ideas in the chapter, to highlight the most important concepts. There are ten main chapters, covering many different topics, including: simple anatomy of neurons, long term memory vs working memory, retrieval practice, active learning, declarative and procedural pathways, procrastination, habits, collaborative learning, online teaching, and lesson plans. Again, teachers should not be intimidated by the names of these concepts, even if they are unfamiliar, because everything is thoroughly explained in simple terms. Overall, I think that this book is a valuable resource for teachers, or anyone that deals with children. Using this information can help you come up with new ways to reach your students, and keep them engaged and learning. I appreciate the authors work in breaking down some advanced neuroscience into simple language and useful activities, so it is easy for teachers to use right away. ## Frequently Bought Together - Uncommon Sense Teaching: Practical Insights in Brain Science to Help Students Learn - Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning - Good Habits, Bad Habits --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/287878893-uncommon-sense-teaching-practical-insights-in-brain-science-to-help](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/287878893-uncommon-sense-teaching-practical-insights-in-brain-science-to-help) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
