Reuben Posner

Reuben Posner was a Research Assistant on the Causal Learning Projects. He graduated from the Master's Program in Learning and Teaching from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Previously, he taught and developed curriculum for all ages - from pre-school aged children to adults. Reuben is interested in researching and exploring the moments when a learner has an idea (that they believe to be true) and it comes into conflict with another idea that they have been newly exposed to and they also believe to be true. In particular he is interested in what happens to a learner in that moment, in order to think about what teachers can do to make the most of those moments.
