Consider Why Don't Students Like School by Daniel T. Willingham. Recommended by 3 sources.
“Daniel T. Willingham translates cognitive psychology into classroom-ready explanations for why students forget, tune out, or miss obvious answers. Memory, attention, and practice recur as anchors, and chapters give plain-language rationales for moves like spaced review and retrieval practice. The most useful material is the concise justification for pacing, frequent low-stakes checks, and clearer explanations. Limits: several chapters lean on lab summaries that read dense, examples sometimes repeat, and the book stops short of providing ready-made lesson plans.”
