"What is expert teaching? How might research help teachers improve
their practice? And, crucially, how can schools ensure that
teachers have a clear understanding of what great teaching looks
like? In The Teaching and Learning Playbook, Feely and Karlin
provide persuasive answers to these very tricky questions.In simple
terms, this is a comprehensive, highly-practical manual for
excellent teaching. Alongside helpful explanations of each
pedagogical technique, the book also provides compelling and
convincing video footage of what this might look like in the cut
and thrust of a real classroom.With its exemplification of key
teaching concepts, in one fascinating and cohesive volume, The
Teaching and Learning Playbook is a game-changer for both school
leaders and classroom teachers."Mark Roberts, Author, English
Teacher, and Director of Research at Carrickfergus Grammar School"A
superb directory of carefully chosen and categorised classroom
techniques that every classroom teacher will be better for using.
Simple to follow steps, along with video explanations makes this a
bible of 'go to' strategies for every teacher, irrespective of
their age or stage. I only wish I'd had access to this playbook of
experience and expertise when I first started teaching!"Jon Tait,
Education Author, Leader, and Speaker"Effective PD thrives when we
have clarity and consensus around 'what good looks like'. The
Playbook is the most comprehensive attempt to codify great teaching
in the UK to date."Peps Mccrea, Dean, Ambition Institute"The
Teaching and Learning Playbook is a great guide for those who want
to get better, or who want to help others do the same. It is as
useful for teacher educators as it is for classroom teachers. The
seven barriers is a concise summary of the best available evidence
on why getting better is tough, and what we can do about it. The
playbook contains a precise, clear guide for what teachers can
productively focus their efforts on, and the right ways to
implement teaching techniques."Josh Goodrich, Founder Steplab,
Teacher and Educator "The Teaching and Learning Playbook is
essential reading for school leaders looking to ensure the highest
outcomes for their pupils. What we know about most successful
schools in the county is they have a high level of organisational
clarity. The Playbook provides evidence and research based
approaches to support school leaders in the implementation of
dozens of proven school improvement strategies. This is all done
with a level of detail that prevents them from transforming into
‘lethal mutations’ or less effective versions of the strategy. I
will recommend the Playbook to my colleagues and use it in all the
leadership coaching and training I undertake."Dr James Lane,
Executive Headteacher and Leadership Coach
