Leading UK academics from neuroscience, psychology and education have sought to raise the awareness of 'neuromyths' in the classroom, authoring a letter on The Guardian's online website that cautions against the 'learning styles' myth. The letter was written to coincide with Brain Awareness Week (March 13-19). In an accompanying article, science of learning experts are urged to head to schools to share their knowledge of what works in learning, and to reiterate the importance of evidence-based school practices.
