In an era when responsibility for exam results lies with teachers and not their students it's time to redress the balance so that students take more of the responsibility for their learning. A class can be skilled and motivated to learn without a teacher always having to lead. Engaging learners in this way unpicks intrinsic motivation, the foundation that underpins a productive learning environment and helps to develop independent learning.
Outstanding Teaching: Engaging Learners is based on five years of intensive research, through Osiris Educational's award-winning Outstanding Teaching Intervention programme, during which the authors have so far trained more than 750 teachers to teach over 2,000 lessons in schools nationwide. This book is packed with proven advice and innovative tools developed in these successful, outstanding lessons.
Written in the humorous, thought-provoking style with which they both teach and train, Andy and Mark aim to challenge all who teach, from NQTs to seasoned professionals, to reflect on their day-to-day practice and set an agenda for sustainable improvement.
