Review
With experience as teachers, observers and trainers, the authors have produced a timely treasure chest of a book which will inspire new teachers as well as reinvigorate more experienced ones who are looking for fresh ideas free of jargon. This is a handbook for bringing the best out of teachers and learners alike: with strategies that apply across most subjects, along with insights into educational research that directly impacts on classrooms, the prime beneficiaries from every idea on every page will be the learners. --Andrew Brown, Director of Professional Development, Marlborough College, UK
Whatever the subject and age group you teach, however experienced or inexperienced you are, and whatever your pupils are like, there are suggestions in this book which could invigorate your teaching. Ideally read cover to cover, the time-pressed teacher can just dip in to the 'Tools of the Trade' section for adaptable ideas. Equally welcome are the sixteen marking strategies, all of them educationally valid, but time-saving too. --Valerie White, Senior Teacher, Staff Development, The King's School in Macclesfield, UK
Full of hands on, immediately practical ideas that can really help improve learning, this book is suitable for a teacher straight out of college or the experienced old hand. The best thing is that you can see that these ideas can work in almost any classroom and for different age groups. Teachers will love it because they can use these the very next day. If I was still a Head at a school, I would make sure all my teachers had a copy in their classroom! --Andrew Wigford, Director, Teachers International Consultancy
