Mark. Plan. Teach. 2.0: : Ross Morrison McGill: Bloomsbury

As an academic and someone who has had a long career in initial teacher education (ITE), I am also particularly pleased to see the emphasis he puts on evidence. I am even more delighted that he takes a critical approach to this. He is clear about the complex variables involved in educational research and the danger of assuming that straightforward answers could be taken from it that would work in every context. Though these points are made very clearly near the beginning, occasionally throughout the book it could be argued that research and evidence is presented as unproblematic. This snippet below is the foreword written by the fabulous Prof Andy Hargreaves. Somone I continue to learn from. In 2012, Goldsmiths College (London) celebrated its 110th anniversary and represented every decade of its existence, representing the many who have passed through the education department; people who have gone on to serve education in various capacities, as well as society more widely.In Mark. Plan. Teach. 2.0, Ross Morrison McGill shares his vision to shape learning, our classrooms and school communities and gives us the tools that enable our journey to make change happen. Thank you for your experience and insight. Thomas Raine finds this book is a handy repository of what we know about effective teaching, with a relentless focus on reducing workload Cutting straight to the heart of teacher workload, this book is full of provocative questions and range of classroom ideas and leadership strategies to demonstrate why teachers should do less, not more, to become truly effective. There are three things that every teacher must do: mark work, plan lessons and teach students well. With teachers’ workload at record levels and teacher recruitment and retention the number one issue in education, ideas that really work and will help teachers not only survive but thrive in the classroom are in demand. Every idea in Mark. Plan. Teach. can be implemented by all primary and secondary teachers at any stage of their career and will genuinely improve practice. The ideas have been tried and tested and are supported by evidence that explains why they work, including current educational research and psychological insights from Dr Tim O’Brien, leading psychologist and Visiting Fellow at UCL Institute of Education.

Teach. shows how each stage of the teaching process informs the next, building a cyclical framework that underpins everything that teachers do.A must-read for school leaders and teacher trainers ... I wish every school leader would read this book' Dr Min Du, Teacher, researcher and international education consultant This is a great book for early career teachers, or those who wish to refresh their pedagogical approaches in line with strong recent research findings that go beyond educational fads. Ifthere’sone criticism of this book, it is that it tries to be useful for everyone in a school.
