Grounded in Research, Built for Schools

Learning Science Partners, co-founded by Dr. Jim Heal and Meg Lee, supports schools and districts to make learning science the foundation of teaching and instructional improvement.

By grounding practice in learning science, educators gain the clarity and confidence to design instruction that is both effective for students and sustainable for teachers.

Cognitive Load

Design instruction that respects working memory — chunk, sequence, and reduce extraneous demands.

Prior Knowledge

An equity-minded starting point that respects what every learner brings to the table.

Effortful Thinking

Rigor means designing for deep processing — not just engagement, but real learning.
