Understanding the brain's tendencies to avoid excessive thinking is crucial for educators. We need to leverage this knowledge to help foster a love for problem-solving and critical thinking among our students. Listen in as Dr. Colin Roche explores the idea that the human mind isn't inherently designed for thinking, and how we, as educators, can optimize our teaching strategies to encourage curiosity and encourage thoughtful engagement in our students.

In this episode, Chef Roche also mentions the book "Why Don't Students Like School" by Daniel Willingham (https://amzn.to/3PlJKIj), which is an invaluable resource that all educators should read and the information source for the majority of content in the episode. The book's subtitle is "A cognitive scientist answers questions about how the mind works and what it means for the classroom".

CULINARY EDUCATORS’ BOOK: To get even more information on a wide variety of teaching topics, be sure to check out the book Dr. Roche co-wrote titled "Culinary Educators' Teaching Tools and Tips", which is published by Kendall Hunt (https://he.kendallhunt.com/product/culinary-educators-teaching-tools-and-tips).
