Teach Students to Take Notes
You’ve told your students to take notes.
You may have even taught them the famous Cornell Notes, or something like it. They might have even groaned.
But here’s the thing: giving students a note-taking system isn’t the same as teaching them how to take notes.
Do your students actually know what their brains need to do before, during, and after they take notes? Do YOU?!
In Beyond Cornell, you’ll learn a simple, flexible way to teach this surprisingly complex skill—so students can reliably capture what matters, keep learning long after the lecture is over, and build skills that last through college and beyond.
Or join the Lab for $349 — the masterclass is included.
What You'll LearnJoin us for a deep dive into the science of note-taking—and how to teach it in non-annoying (and potentially inspiring!) ways.
We'll explore:
A Fresh Review of the Literature.
Gretchen’s been nerding out on the research to find the most interesting and useful ideas about how to take notes—and translate them into what they mean for our work with students.
Simplify How You Teach Note-Taking.
Learn a streamlined, two-step framework that gives students enough structure to know what to do—without overwhelming them with complicated rules.
Add More Creative Strategies to Your Toolkit.
Experiment with fresh ways to capture ideas, organize info, see relationships between ideas, and make thinking visual.
Adapt for Different Brains—and Reduce Resistance.
Make note-taking more accessible for neurodivergent learners by breaking this skill into doable steps students are willing to try.
Partner with AI—Without Outsourcing the Learning.
AI can generate summaries in seconds—but should we use it? Explore how AI can reduce barriers without taking over the thinking students need to do for themselves.
Enter your bullet points here..
And we won’t just TALK about it. We’ll actually DO it.
Gretchen will lead us in a practice activity, during which we'll try out the cool tools we’ve learned and discover just how many different ways there are to turn notes into learning.

Frequently Asked Questions:1. What if I can’t attend live?
No problem! All registrants get the full replay of the 3-hour masterclass, so you can watch on your own time.
2. Is this just for academic coaches, or will it be useful for classroom teachers too?
Definitely not just for coaches! Beyond Cornell is for teachers, tutors, coaches, learning specialists, SLPs, OTs, educational therapists, and others who help students learn how to learn.
3. What ages is this masterclass relevant for?
Beyond Cornell is especially relevant for middle school through college, but the framework is intentionally simple and flexible. It can be stepped up or down for younger learners or adults—and adapted to the students you work with.
4. Will the tools support neurodivergent learners?
Yes. We’ll pay particular attention to what can make note-taking difficult for students with ADHD and other neurodivergent brains—and how to make the process more accessible without adding MORE complicated steps.
