A former teacher turned academic coach, she is now the founder of the Anti-Boring Learning Lab, an online professional learning community where educators obsess over the science-backed study skills and executive function strategies every student needs to thrive. She is best known for her Anti-Boring Approach to Powerful Studying, where she combines insights from brain science with practical strategies to help educators help students become more effective, engaged, and self-sufficient learners. Teachers, tutors, and coaches around the world use the Anti-Boring learning tools to inspire a wide array of students including (but not limited to):those with ADHD and other diagnosed learning disabilities,first-generation, low-income college students,students suffering from anxiety, overwhelm, and perfectionism,the unmotivated as well as the high-achieving, and those in the middle who have fallen through the cracks of our overworked school systems. Her “super power” lies in consolidating the science of learning into fun, digestible, nuggets for educators and their students -- and teaching actionable and executive function friendly strategies for putting that science into practice. Anyone attending Gretchen’s presentations is inspired and ready to take action in small and large ways. Gretchen aims to make teaching and learning less of a chore and more engaging and productive for students and their educators. A former Fulbright Fellow, Gretchen has a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction and was a credentialed middle and high school teacher. Always an advocate of playful rigor in school and life, she is also a public speaker, improvisational performer, lindy hop dancer, avid backpacker, and proud resident of Oakland, California.
