Mark. Plan. Teach. 2.0

Description

'A must-read for school leaders and teacher trainers ... I wish every school leader would read this book' Dr Min Du, Teacher, researcher and international education consultant The new, fully updated edition of Ross Morrison McGill's bestselling Mark. Plan. Teach., now complete with a visual guide to the key ideas, illustrated by Oliver Caviglioli. Mark. Plan. Teach. 2.0 includes an illustrated visual booklet, a foreword by Professor Andy Hargreaves and exciting new ideas in line with current best practice, recent thinking and developments around marking and feedback. There are three things that every teacher must do: mark work, plan lessons and teach students well. This refreshed guide from Ross, bestselling author of 100 Ideas for Secondary Teachers: Outstanding Lessons, Teacher Toolkit and Just Great Teaching, is packed full of practical ideas that will help teachers refine the key elements of their profession. Mark. Plan. Teach. 2.0 shows how each stage of the teaching process informs the next, building a cyclical framework that underpins everything that teachers do. With teachers' workload still at record levels and teacher recruitment and retention the number one issue in education, ideas that really work and will help teachers not only survive but thrive in the classroom are in demand. Every idea in Mark. Plan. Teach. 2.0 can be implemented by all primary and secondary teachers at any stage of their career and will genuinely improve practice. The ideas have been tried and tested and are supported by evidence that explains why they work, including current educational research and psychological insights from Professor Tim O'Brien, leading psychologist and Honorary Professor at UCL Institute of Education.

I love the way what Ross has written is so accessible and yet so provoking. Giving teachers hints, tips and practical ideas on how they can improve their practice and, ultimately, raise learning outcomes for their pupils is what matters, and by focusing on this, Ross does the entire country a huge service. -- Vikas Pota * Chairman, World Education Week, @VikasPota * Nobody does it better: in terms of providing practical, accessible, do-able, evidence-informed tips to improve teaching and learning, Teacher Toolkit is simply the best. -- Lee Elliot Major OBE * Professor of Social Mobility, @LEM_Exeter * In Mark. Plan. Teach. 2.0, Ross Morrison McGill shares his vision to shape learning, our classrooms and school communities and gives us the tools that enable our journey to make change happen. Thank you for your experience and insight. -- Patrice M. Bain * Author of Powerful Teaching, @patricebain1 * There's a lot of pressure put on teachers to be exceptional educationalists but without all the tools. Where is the space to learn through making mistakes and where can you find support from those with lived experience and expertise? Ross Morrison McGill addresses a wide range of practical approaches such as celebrating mistakes and working smarter not harder, providing clarity, insight and plans into the areas we don't talk about. It's a wonderful book which non-educators will find equally useful. -- Zubeda Limbada * Director of ConnectFutures, @ZubedaCFutures and @ConnectFutures * Mark. Plan. Teach. is not only a very practical book for teachers but also a must-read for school leaders and teacher trainers. Its suggestions are grounded in educational practice and supported by education theories. The diagrams and straight-forward language make it so much easier to understand, demonstrate in teacher training or use as posters. I wish every school leader would read this book and make strategies accordingly to raise teaching quality while reducing teachers' workload. -- Dr Min Du * Teacher, researcher and international education consultant, @MinCam2016 * This is a great book for early career teachers, or those who wish to refresh their pedagogical approaches in line with strong recent research findings that go beyond educational fads. * UKEdChat * This really is what it says on the cover, a teacher's tool kit. A very professionally researched and well delivered handbook...It is written in a supportive and informative way and at no point is it patronising (unlike many inset lectures!) The various points are informatively written in concise chapters, with an 'ideas snapshot' at the start of each topic and useful references to further reading. -- Rosie Watch * Love Reading 4 Schools *
