Product reviews for We Did it Here!
Sec Ed Chris Parr,
We Did It Here! bills itself as a set of “inspirational stories of school improvement and classroom change”, and looks to offer a series of informative case studies offering ideas and activities to inspire young learners.
The book seeks to demonstrate how teachers and school leaders can create powerful changes in their schools in an education system that is replete with new initiatives, government programmes and imposing targets.
The case studies include schools that have set up and run their own magazines, transformed themselves in challenging circumstances, established links with business and industry, and created websites, all backed up with helpful pictures and photographs to give the reader concrete examples of the potential outcomes of the advice.
There is also a chapter looking at individual teachers' actions, which aims to show that it is possible to achieve great results at classroom level, even in struggling schools.
Among other topics, it looks at transforming PE and science, making ICT more exciting, and meeting the needs of more able students.
Author Brin Best is an educational consultant who has worked as a teacher, head of department, and local authority advisory teacher. He has drawn on his own experiences, and visited a range of different secondary schools across the country to compile this guide to motivating and inspiring learners.
