Neuroteach Global was developed by Glenn Whitman and Dr. Ian Kelleher, who lead the Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, in partnership with Talented. After a fortuitous meeting at SXSW EDU in 2016, the design, build, and launch of Neuroteach Global represents the first-ever delivery of Science of Learning research and classroom strategies through micro-learning experiences.
