The Science of Learning

I was reading Scientific American September issue when I came across this piece by Dan Willingham who is a cognitive psychologist at the University of Virginia.  He advocates for a research clearing house for educators, so they can separate the facts from the fads http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=how-science-can-improve-teaching

From the same article, here is the link to the What Works Clearinghouse
