โ€œYou are human. You will make mistakes when teaching. Let your students share in that problem-solving experience, and donโ€™t feel you need to hide those mistakes. By doing this, you are teaching students humility, risk-taking, metacognitive skills, acceptance, and most of all that mistakes happen and our classroom is a safe zone for making those mistakes.โ€ โ€”Jenessa D, Educator

We hope you'll tune in!

With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world:
gershmanlab.com/textbook.html
It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class.

My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.
