365 Laws, Principles, and Practices for Education

Most of what teachers need to know about how learning works, they were never taught.

Because it was never made available in a form that fits the working life of an educator. The research on memory, attention, motivation, and cognitive load has accumulated for decades. The frameworks that explain institutional behaviour, social dynamics, and the hidden forces shaping classrooms have been named and tested. They sit in journals, in textbooks, in the specialist literature of a dozen disciplines.

This book brings them into one place.

365 named laws, principles, effects, and techniques. One per day, or open at random and find what you need. Each entry gives you the name, the origin, the mechanism, and one concrete action you can take tomorrow. No jargon. No hedging. No filler.

Read it for a year and your working vocabulary will expand. You will have names for things you previously experienced without naming. Your sense of where the leverage is - in a stuck student, a resistant institution, an impossible brief - will sharpen. Your relationship to your own practice will deepen.

The apprenticeship begins on the first page you open.

Twenty categories. 365 entries. From cognitive science to game theory, from philosophy of education to institutional change.
