Trust the power of cognitive science to help students to understand more, remember more and feel more confident about their exams.

Dale Banham is not your average teacher. With amazing knowledge of the best teaching methods and over 30 years' classroom experience, he writes textbooks that are guaranteed to make learning more effective.

> Simplify each topic. The text is broken down into bullet points and boxes. Tasks are structured around the 'steps to success', teaching students how to Research & Record, Summarise, Reflect, Apply and Review their learning

> Make learning stick. Cognitive science techniques such as 'interleaving', 'retrieval practice' and 'spaced practice' support students with processing and remembering the course content

> Strengthen memory through 'dual coding'. The book contains lots of cartoon memory aids that visually summarise key knowledge. Research proves that we remember something better if it's presented through text and images

> Improve exam results. The exam skills required to answer each question type successfully are carefully explained. Practice questions, revision tips and guidance based on the examiners' reports are also included

> Cover the content in one term. A double page spread for each lesson and a clear pathway through each unit focuses students on what they really need to know, leaving one final term for revision

The five-term course plan is provided FREE online at hoddereducation.com/engaging, along with editable resources that support the tasks in the textbooks and guidance on using homework effectively.
