Education
How we teach, learn, and remember.
Education books are for teachers, parents, students, or the people who design the systems those three have to live in. It helps to decide which, because a book that tries to fix schools, childhood, and civilisation in the same breath usually fixes none of them. Classroom practice, the way memory works, the politics of universities, the daily invention of a lesson that might hold a room: pick a scale and stay there long enough to be useful.
Teachers are expert readers of false simplicity. If you have a method, show it in a real room, with the constraints of time, behaviour, and the curriculum that already exists. Research is welcome when it is explained and not waved. So is experience, when it isn't offered as a universal law. Write with respect for the people who do the job. A book about learning that treats teachers as the obstacle and children as an abstraction is going to be thin, however fashionable the thesis.
The kinds of book inside it
Classroom
The unit is the lesson and the room, so the advice should be something a teacher could try without a new building or a different species of child.
Higher education
Universities and colleges are the setting, and the book should understand teaching, money, and the lives of students as parts of one system.
Learning science
Memory, attention, and practice are explained so that a teacher or a student could change what they do on the strength of it.
