What if we designed for learning to happen on purpose instead of teaching and just hoping it does? In Designing Learning That Sticks, Jason Kennedy offers a practical framework for creating learning that lasts.
Building on the foundation of Let's Stop Teaching and Start Designing Learning, this book shows how strong tasks, thoughtful scaffolds, usable feedback, and intentional repetition work together to help learning stick. Grounded in cognitive science and classroom practice, this book helps teachers, leaders, and collaborative teams design lessons and units that move beyond compliance and toward clarity, engagement, and evidence of learning. Inside, you will learn how to:

• design tasks that make thinking visible
• scaffold without stealing the struggle
• give feedback that moves learning forward
• build repetition and retrieval into planning
• strengthen assessment, collaboration, and implementation.

Whether you are a classroom teacher, instructional coach, school leader, or part of a collaborative team, this book will help you design learning with greater purpose, coherence, and impact.
