Product reviews for This Much I Know About Truly Great Secondary Teachers

This is exactly what I needed to read before embarking on any further school improvement work. As always, John weaves together theory, research and practice to focus on what really matters: getting teaching and learning right in the classroom. We’ve worked with John for several years now. He has supported us in school improvement with pragmatic wisdom and wit! He never loses sight of what matters: the children and the quality of their learning through expert teaching. As with John’s previous books, Truly Great Secondary Teacherscombines a genial warmth with astute observations. The warmth radiates off the pages: both John’s warmth towards the teachers he profiles and the teachers’ warmth towards their charges which permeates each case study. Most importantly, his portraits of teachers at the top of their game provide incredibly important learning for all of us interested in schools.
