Tom Sherrington brings together the different elements of what constitutes "great teaching" through his own experience as a classroom teacher and school leader, and his extensive review of what research says works. Aimed at teachers of all kinds, busy people working in complex envi-ronments with little time to spare, it is both a celebration of, and guide to, great teaching .</p><p>Part 1 is an exploration of the learning rainforest; an accessible summary of key contemporary, evidence-based ideas about teaching and learning, and the debates that all teachers should be engaging in. Part 2 is the learning rainforest in practice; the techniques and strategies busy teachers can implementin their own practice.</p><p>Brought to an American audience for the first time, this book is packed with strategies for making great teaching attainable in the context of real schools.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"What is truly astonishing about this book is the amount of distilled wisdom<br /> packed into it. It combines a huge amount of significant research with decades of<br /> Tom's own invaluable experience of working at the blackboard to form a coherent, <br /> practical and thought provoking book that will be an indispensable guide for years to<br /> come. Simply put, this is the book I wish I had read when I started teaching."<br /> <strong>Carl Hendrick, head of research, Wellington College</strong></p><p>"What really stunned me about this book is the way that Tom has taken the<br /> research evidence that does exist, and woven it into a powerful vision of how<br /> education can transform lives, even in the most challenging settings. I know<br /> of many books that do a great job of summarizing the research on reading, on<br /> memory, on assessment, on feedback, and so on. I do not know of a single other<br /> book that addresses so well all the threads than have to be woven together to<br /> create great schools, in such a readable way."</p><p><strong>Dylan Wiliam, Author, Educational Consultant, Professor Emeritus at UCL Institute of Education</strong></p><br>
