‘Bursting with fresh ideas, packed with practical tips, filled with wise words, this is an inspiring guide for all teachers.’ Lee Elliot Major, Professor of Social Mobility, University of Exeter and co-author of What Works?
50 tried-and-tested practical ideas to help you tackle the top ten issues in your classroom. Ross Morrison McGill, bestselling author of Mark. Plan. Teach. and Teacher Toolkit, identifies the top ten key issues facing schools in Great Britain today, and offers strategies, ideas, and techniques for addressing these issues most effectively.
We often talk about the challenges of teacher recruitment and retention, about new initiatives and political environments, but day in and day out, teachers and schools deliver exceptional teaching, most of which remains invisible. Ross uncovers, celebrates, and analyzes best practices in teaching.
Supported by case studies and research conducted by Ross in ten primary and secondary schools across Britain, including a pupil referral unit and private, state, and grammar schools, as well as explanations from influential educators on why and how these ideas work, Ross explores issues such as marking and assessment, planning, teaching and learning, teacher wellbeing, student mental health, behavior and exclusions, SEND, curriculum, research-led practice, and professional development.
With a foreword by Lord Jim Knight and contributions from Priya Lakhani, Andria Zafirakou, Mark Martin, Professor Andy Hargreaves, and many others, this book inspires readers to see how specific problems can be solved and how other schools are already doing this successfully. It is packed with ideas and advice for all primary and secondary classroom teachers and school leaders eager to provide the best education possible for our young people today.
