Relearning to Teach: Understanding the Principles of Great Teaching [Paperback]

Relearning to Teach challenges the seemingly complex teaching profession and the various initiatives, strategies and ideas that are regularly suggested. It explores how teaching methods are used without a clear understanding of why, which leads to ineffective teaching that is believed to work  but ultimately doesnt. Cutting through the clutter of conventional teacher guidance, David Fawcett tackles myths head on, sharing the latest research and explaining how this will look translated to a classroom environment.

The book breaks down the complexities of teaching into manageable chunks and offers practical advice on how to take charge of your own CPD to become a more reflective and successful practitioner. Focusing on whats most relevant and helpful to build effective teaching practice and self-improvement it raises key questions such as:

Is lesson planning just a box ticking exercise?

Why do students remember in lessons, but forget in tests?

Is asking more questions beneficial?

Is feedback actually worth it?

Relearning to Teach is a must read for all teachers looking to pinpoint the why of teaching methods and to gain an understanding of the reasons why various pedagogies are used within the classroom.
