Teach 2: Educated Risks

By M J Bromley

READER REVIEWS: "A wise, accessible and practically useful book" - Professor Bill Lucas, Author of 'Educating Ruby' - "Compelling... clear and convincingly argued" - Dr Jill Berry, Author of 'Marking the Leap, Moving from Deputy Headship to Headship' - "A useful summary of research on teaching and learning. In encouraging us to 'connect everything back to our students' - it makes a helpful contribution to the literature." - Mary Myatt, senior Ofsted inspector and author of High Challenge, Low Threat -- ABOUT THIS BOOK: 'Teach 2' is a follow-up to the best-selling book on pedagogy by the author of 'Leadership for Learning', 'The IQ Myth', and 'How to Become a School Leader'. It has something for everyone: from the NQT looking for teaching tips to the experienced school principal in search of leadership inspiration. Within its pages, we examine what it means to be a great teacher and what great teaching really looks and feels like in practice. We analyse how to model high expectations in the classroom and reveal the habits of academic achievement. We consider ways of closing the gap that exists between the educational achievement of boys and girls and how to help our students transfer their learning from one context to another, thus making learning universal. We also share some useful lesson planning advice and consider the cornerstones of great curriculum design. This book is subtitled 'Educated Risks' and, as such, we explore the importance of risk-taking in education - of avoiding group-think and a culture of compliance. We pose some big questions about the nature of education and about what it means to be a member of the teaching profession. -- ABOUT THE AUTHOR: M J Bromley is an experienced education leader, writer, consultant, speaker and trainer. - Find out more at www.bromleyeducation.co.uk - Follow him on Twitter: @mj_bromley
