Biography

Jennie Grammer studies how experiences in school shape students’ cognitive development and learning. Drawing from methods in developmental psychology, education, and neuroscience, she focuses on processes such as executive functions, self-regulation, attention, memory, and metacognition that play important roles in academic growth and social interactions in school. For over a decade, Grammer has been conducting neuroscientific research directly in schools and classrooms to characterize the complex interactions between students and their environments that propel developmental change. She works to identify classroom-based strategies that teachers can use to develop equitable learning opportunities for students.
