Vic Goddard, author of The Best Job in the World

We can all name a teacher that stands out. Getting excellent results for the young people will always be one of the reasons why they are memorable, but Truly Great Secondary Teachers clearly shows that results are only part of the picture. John Tomsett’s book shows why the Ofsted approach to quantifying teaching will never truly work. How do we measure how well a teacher connects with their students in the classroom? How do we put a number on a teacher’s ability to see a group of learners struggling with a concept and know instantly what they need to do to get over that learning barrier? It is quite simple … we can’t! I loved reading about every teacher in this book and every one of them made me want to go and teach my next lesson a little better, with a bit more conviction and in a way that makes it memorable. Read Truly Great Secondary Teachers, be inspired and find your own way of doing the same.
