There is so much research out there that can help you teach your students more effectively - but so little time to go through it all.
The Science of Learning distils all the key research from cognitive psychology into 77 studies. This book is a much-needed resource for primary and secondary teachers who want to help students improve how they learn, think and feel at school. With a widely accessible format and practical, evidence-based classroom applications, this book empowers teachers with the best research to support their work. Flick through six categories (Memory, Self-regulation & Metacognition, Teacher Attitude, Behaviour & Expectations, Student Behaviours and Thinking Biases) and zero in on the studies that can help you be the best teacher you can be - it's that easy.

"An absolute must for every school"

Like me, I trust you will enjoy reading, dipping into, thinking about, following up, questioning, asking for more – as you touch this book. This is my ‘book of the decade”.

John Hattie, Laureate Professor at Melbourne University, Australia

This is the book I have been waiting for. Whether you are just beginning as a teacher, or a seasoned veteran, there will be something here that will be directly relevant to your practice, and, perhaps more importantly, will make you think.

Dylan Wiliam, Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment, UCL, UK

This book will prove irresistible to anyone keen to understand more about essential educational research findings in the most accessible manner possible. An absolute must for every school.

The Science of Learning is a timely and precious gift to teachers. Interpreting research accurately and applying it intelligently are not easy tasks. This book has made them far easier. Every teacher should be given a copy.

Busch and Watson have come up with that rarity: an educational must-read. I will be recommending it to every teacher I know!

Chris Hildrew, Headteacher at Churchill Academy, UK

This book is a highly practicable guide to the often impenetrable field of education research and is a very useful compass for school leaders, classroom teachers and parents alike in seeking which evidence based strategies to implement.
