What are the innovative books that every teacher/student must read in order to become an efficient teacher/student?

By
For maths at school level, I would suggest “Speed Mathematics: Secrets Skills for Quick Calculation by Bill Handley”
It is a fantastic book on mathematics, students start to feel and love mathematics like never before. The phobia for math goes away and students become more creative when the techniques of the books are taught to the students. No more learning of table, just by reciting the table (rote learning).

For improving reading skills school going students, I would suggest “Teach your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons by Siegfried Engelmann, Phyllis Haddox, Elaine Bruner” Presently I am working on it and looks very promising. I will share my views about it after I taught the exercise completely to my students

For memory improvement, I would suggest “Secrets of Mind Power” by Harry Loryane
It is based upon photographic memory, it really helps to the things that are very difficult to memorize (e.g. periodic table)

A teacher or student should also read psychology books in order to overcome stress and live a successful life. For it I would suggest “The Relaxation and Stress Reduction Workbook” by Matthew McKay and also "The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook" book by Edmund Bourne
It is a complete package of living a healthy and stress-free life if we practice

The overview of fair democracy: https://iambrainstorming.wordpress.com/from-hypocrisy-to-democracy-this-way-delegated-proof-of-stake-2/   Evolutionary democracy using hierarchical specialization with adapted delegated proof of stake algorithm, where different specialized departments are in a symbiotic or mutually beneficial relationship.  The Tree of Democracy Each funnel is a department with its subdepartments A Department For example, the education department can have its sub-departments such as kid education, adult education, research, entrepreneurship. Each department consists of large outer representatives and a few inner representatives. These large outer representatives are the grand total of all its sub-department outer representatives and the few inner representatives are the grand totals of all its sub-department inner representatives. Inner representatives of center and state are policy approver,   and inner representatives of all the regions (center, state, ...

Preprint link: https://osf.io/82mpk/ dem·oc·racy [democracy democracies] 1) fair and equal treatment of everyone in a country or organization, etc, and their right to take part in making decisions 2) a system of government in which all the people of a country can vote to elect their representatives Yes, most democratic countries fulfill the second definition of democracy, but none to the first definition. Abstract: Democracy is about fair and equal treatment of everyone in a country. But it becomes unrealistic to achieve when political parties have their conflict of interest , and leaders don't have the expertise to make evidence-based policies and neither have the skill and manpower for solving problems that surround our society and ecosystem. The new fair democracy provides an elegant way of governance that separates the representative responsibility according to their specialization and can grow into any complexity. The governance is divided into various departments, and each ...

Many technologies have promised to revolutionize education, but so far none has. With that in mind, what could revolutionize education? Why educational videos don't work? 1) Procrastination : Educational videos give freedom of anytime learning, but this can lead to procrastination. According to Parkinson's Law: "Work expands to fill the time available for its completion". But in case of video lectures or MOOCs there is no limit of time, so usually, we procrastinate. Limiting time to complete the MOOCs is also a bad idea, as it takes away its advantage of any time and anywhere learning. 2) Lack of a social interaction : We share emotions, feelings, discuss with the teacher, friends that come to our mind just like a true social animal and classroom brings a social two-way interaction, but it doesn't happen in case of MOOCs. 3) Answerability : No one is there to keep you accountable for finishing the course, no outward push, everything lies with intrinsic motivation...
