Book of the Week: Mental Models: How understanding the mind can transform how you work and learn, by Jim Heal & Rebekah Berlin
I had the good fortune to meet Dr. Jim Heal at the researchEd conference in Santiago, Chile a few days ago. Jim is a rare and intuitive expert at translating deep research into practically-useful “on-the-job” insights—his presentation was so compelling that I immediately found myself digging into his and Rebekah Berlin’s compelling book Mental Models. Ever wondered how to best mentor a gaggle of new interns in learning new skills that you know how to do, but don’t even know how to put into words? Jim and Rebekah’s book lays it all out, and far, far more: how to help learns create rich, accessible libraries (neural schemas) in their brains; how to make their learning “sticky,” how to structure and sequence ideas for best retention. Whether you’re a leader, a professional, or an educator of any kind, you’ll find rich resources in this book. Highly recommended.
