This essential and aspirational text is aimed at all beginning
teachers whatever your training route, age phase and setting. It
explicitly adopts and builds on a new metaphor for teachers'
professional learning as interplay between the body of public
knowledge and the practical wisdom of teachers within a particular
school setting. It also accepts that 'telling' you how to teach is
ineffective; you need to 'become a teacher' because it involves
identity and practice. Inquiry-based critically reflective learning
with a clear focus on the learning of pupils is proposed as the
core strategy by which you can build your knowledge and skills to
become an outstanding teacher. Core topics, including planning,
inclusion, teaching, assessment and professional development, are
tackled in an accessible and refreshing way, using key research
informed evidence. The focus is relentlessly on 'learning' rather
than performance, in order to support you becoming an excellent
professional teacher, rather than a competent technician, who makes
a difference to learners, colleagues, schools and policy. Think of
this book as a temporary or additional mentor, challenging you with
different ways of thinking about learning and providing strategies
to guide your professional learning. "It takes 10 years or more to
begin to be a brain surgeon, but sometimes we get 1-3 years at most
before we are allowed to work with children's brains as teachers.
So we need inspirational teachers and this is the focus of this
compact, powerful and insightful book. It is wonderfully designed
around five of the most critical dilemmas in our classrooms: belief
vs. ability; autonomy vs. compliance; abstract vs. concrete;
feedback vs. praise; and collaboration vs. competition. The power
of the book is that it illustrates the new move to focus on
learning power - and such a focus permits every student to become
smarter through effort and deep practice as they struggle with the
high-challenge learning activities - in the presence of
inspirational, impactful and passionate teachers. The perfect book
for those who want to make most of their opportunity to enhance
students' brain power." John Hattie, Director, Melbourne Education
