The ingredients for great teaching
Synopsis
The author draws on the good science behind effective teaching practice, dispelling established myths that are not evidence-based along the way. He seeks to take into account the differing contexts within which teachers have to teach and shows how science can support good practice in practical ways but does not necessarily work in all circumstances and contexts. The author explores ten crucial aspects of teaching, the research behind them and why they work as they do, combined with everyday classroom examples describing both good and bad practice.
Key topics include:
- teacher subject knowledge
- evaluation and feedback
- the importance of practice
- metacognition
- making students think.
