From a headteacher who absolutely loves their job!
The book is packed with honest, down to earth ways we can all make the learning journey of young people more worthwhile and memorable. From theory which challenges long held beliefs; to classroom practice ideas that reinforce what is expected of outstanding teachers. The book is bound to stimulate staff room debate and motivate teachers to reflect on their practice. Nothing the book suggests is budget breaking or beyond the reach of any school, and we will certainly be using most of the teaching strategies and ideas suggested. In fact we can't wait to get started!
I found it really easy to read - quite a page turner ~ as a true lifelong learner I wanted to find out more!
Much of the book reaffirms my beliefs about teaching, however, every chapter has those 'little gems' that can make a huge difference to any school. I will certainly put it on the essential reading list of every teacher in my school. As always, Jackie's top tips are superb -school improvement ideas in a nutshell.
