In 2015, we discovered how everyday educators can leverage neuropsychology and neuroimaging research to help students. The results were exceptional in the best way. The science is there, waiting for everyone to see it and use it. And yet:

Nearly all learning science relies on mechanistic understandings of the brain.

The reality is more complex: all brains compensate to get around unavailable neural pathways, but these compensation patterns don’t require fMRIs to see. They’re detectable by everyday educators, parents, even the students themselves.

Cognitive Compensation works for all learners because it happens in all learners

Penelope Education helps schools, teachers, administrators, districts look at learning from a systems level: both the complex systems of the brain itself and the systems of our world. We create policy, qualitative data systems, professional development, and experts.

We center anti-ableism, anti-racism, and feminism

Weave connections between every essential pedagogy.

Weave tapestries out of equitably and ethically created labeled data.

See the patterns of every unique human for what they are.

Unravel error.
