Educator Lauren Porosoff discovered the value of contextual behavioral science by accident, when accompanying her psychologist husband at a professional conference. Additional study of the subject convinced her of its benefits to educators and students — and showed her the value of study outside her field. She encourages educators to seek out professional learning opportunities in fields other than education and suggests how educators can make the most of such learning.
