Riassunto

Effective teaching makes a huge difference to students’ knowledge, and their life chances. But improving teaching is extremely difficult – many changes within schools have little impact on classroom practice. This new book from bestselling author, Harry Fletcher-Wood, shows how leaders can design and deliver effective professional development and help teachers make lasting improvements. Addressing common barriers, including lack of focus and time pressure, it synthesises key ideas and shows how they can be implemented step-by-step.

Blending research and experience, the book offers practical tools to help teacher educators refine their practice and solve the critical challenges they face, including:

• Designing a coherent programme
• Leading effective training
• Coaching teachers to improve
• Supporting teachers to adopt new habits
• Leading change within the school
• Evaluating impact

Each challenge is addressed through bitesize steps, illustrated with worked examples. Suggested actions, reflection questions and checklists help the reader put new ideas into practice immediately. Readable, evidence-informed and easy-to-apply, Improving Teaching is an essential guide for anyone helping teachers to get better.
