You will probably think when seeing these headings about the course you did when becoming a teacher. How useful were they? You might think you learned all this stuff back then. Even if you only did your training a short time ago, knowledge is growing rapidly relating how our brain works and our memory and what this means for learning (and teaching).

Teaching is concerned with maximizing learning. Therefore we need to continually update our knowledge about how learning occurs, how the brain works and particularly memory, and relevant instructional design concepts which allows up to plan lessons, topics and courses.
