Teaching Material That Sticks

This book explores the science of long-term memory for effective teaching. It offers practical strategies grounded in research on memory and repetition.

Effective teaching is built on understanding how people learn and retain information over time. Teaching Material That Sticks explores the science behind long-term memory and applies it to practical classroom and training situations, offering strategies that educators and instructors can use to help learners hold onto what they are taught. In this book, you will find an overview of established research on memory, retrieval practice, spaced repetition, and meaningful engagement, along with guidance on how to apply these principles in real teaching contexts. The material is organised to be accessible whether you are new to teaching or looking to refine your existing approach.
