Building bridges from science to the classroom. Researchers need to develop questions together with practitioners. Bridge must extend into the continuing education of teachers. Teachers rarely turn to scientists at research universities. Scientists of different disciplines need to work together toward a joint goal (eg. focus language you could consult a psychologist, educational scientist, teacher, speech therapist, linguist: 4) neuroscience adds to already acquired knowledge. Can reduce complexity without losing the big picture.
