structured and supported approach to becoming an outstanding
teacher * A unique action planning feature at the end of each

understanding of the many aspects of teachingThe unique focus on
your individual development and creating an authentic identity as
the foundation for excellence makes Outstanding Primary Teaching
and Learning essential reading for the every trainee teacher or
those wishing to enhance practice. "There are a few educational
texts that you do not want to put down, and this is one! The book
will encourage, motivate and inspire trainee teachers, recently
qualified, early career and established teachers to reach the
heights of their potential. If becoming an outstanding teacher
seems like an unattainable goal, this book will convince the reader
otherwise. The author speaks to the reader, coaxing and
encouraging, as if she was there by their side. She follows her own
advice by creating innovative and stimulating sessions, but in text
form. The accessible structure with reflection sections,
activities, prompts, checklists, further reading, and thought
provoking quotes and extracts, provides an interactive resource,
for all those who aspire to be the best possible teacher for their
pupils. In simple terms, an outstanding book, that provides a
pathway through the minefield that education can be." Dr. Tracy
Whatmore, Senior Lecturer at the University of Birmingham, UK "An
easy to read book with sound practical advice underpinned by theory
which every trainee teacher or early career teacher can dip into
for guidance. It captures the essence of primary teaching through
the metaphor of a coat and I'm sure readers will adapt their coats
accordingly as they journey through the book." Professor Vini
Lander, Edge Hill University, UK "Outstanding Primary Teaching and
Learning" is an absolute must-read for teachers of any age or
experience who would like to become more outstanding in their
practice. Written from a unique and highly reflective perspective
of pedagogy as an art, a proactive and inspiring approach is taken
to journey the reader along a personalised path, enabled through
highly constructive and reflective opportunities. Sally Hawkins
inspires with her clear passion to primary teaching and learning,
and considers all aspects of that which it takes to develop
"outstandingness". With her methodical yet holistic approach to
pedagogy, "Outstanding Primary Teaching and Learning" takes a
thoughtful and academic approach to deconstruct the constantly
evolving machine that is primary education, into useable ideas and
concepts. As a current PGCE student, I have found this to be an
enormous asset to both my reflective practice in the classroom, but
also through the contextualising of a complex and ever-changing
education system." Alexander S Phipps, Postgraduate Student,
Institute for Education, The University of Chichester, UK "Although
this book is aimed at trainee primary school teachers, it will be
equally useful for secondary school and more experienced teachers.
By contextualising her examples around the analogy of 'the perfect
jacket', Sally clearly outlines the complexities and challenges of
modern teaching. However, through the systematic approach that she
adopts and the examples she gives, she makes these challenges both
achievable and desirable. She de-bunks some of the myths around
'outstanding' teaching and provides readers with clear frameworks
and reference points from which they can evaluate and develop their
own teaching. Sally's writing style is both personal and humorous,
which will engage and motivate busy teachers. She seamlessly
combines the latest theories and applies them to classroom
practice. By including regular reflection tasks, this book can
become a valuable accompaniment to trainees regular mentor
meetings. Those who engage with Sally's questions and follow her
recommendations, will develop a deep understanding of the role of
the teacher and will develop a substantial toolkit to draw upon in
the classroom." Mark Bagust, Associate Headteacher, Cantell School,
UK
