Innovations in Teamwork for Health Care | Harvard Online Experts from Harvard Business School and the T.H. Chan School of Public Health teach learners to implement a strategy for organizational teamwork in health care.

📖 Today, we’re celebrating Online Learning Day and sharing a read & reflection from Becky Greenhalgh, Instructional Content Developer, with all of you:

"Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning" explores successful learning techniques from the perspective of cognitive psychology. This book challenges traditional learning methods by emphasizing that familiarity with information isn't the same as having a deep, functional understanding. The distinction between these two concepts guides the learning principles presented in this book. Drawing on scientific research, the authors provide compelling evidence and practical strategies to refine both teaching and learning approaches.📚

Happy learning!

Financial Analysis and Valuation for Lawyers | Harvard Online Taught by Harvard Law School faculty, this Harvard Online course helps attorneys navigate financial situations to increase profitability and minimize risk.

📚✨ Literacy is self-empowerment. Today, we’re celebrating our teachers and sharing a special read & reflection from April Opoliner, Manager of Instructional Design, with all of you:

"As a first-year student at Smith College, I attended my first all-campus meeting the night before classes began. When our president took the stage at John M. Greene Hall, the room burst with energy. Students stomped on the ground, cheering and clapping, until it finally came together as a chant: "Ruth, Ruth, Ruth." When the room finally quieted down and she began to speak, I understood what the love and excitement was all about. This was my first introduction to Ruth Simmons.

So when she released a memoir, I knew I had to read it. And when I learned that she reads the audiobook herself, I knew I had to listen to it, as I fondly remember her voice and expert storytelling. And I was introduced to her all over again through "Up Home: One Girl's Journey".

I already knew she was "a sharecropper's daughter turned Ivy League president," but this book gives so much more depth to her childhood and young adulthood. Beyond a description of the difficulties and hardships she faced and overcame, it's a story of gratitude and admiration for the Black teachers and schools in a segregated East Texas that saw her, challenged her, supported her, and shaped her. It gives us a glimpse of what motivates her lifelong commitment to providing access to high-quality education to those who have historically faced additional and unfair barriers. It's a beautifully written (and read) book that expands our understanding of both Ruth Simmons and education during Jim Crow."

Happy reading! 📖💫
