Teaching Backwards is just that. It's packed with case studies from
primary and secondary teachers, and it's punctuated with reflective
questions that invite teachers to slow down and do some thinking
about how they currently teach, so that their teaching can have an
even more powerful impact on learners. Well-informed by research
and with a clear action plan of what to do, and what not to do,
Teaching Backwards is a guide to ensuring that learners make
outstanding progress, lesson by lesson and year on year. Develop
learners' knowledge, attitudes, skills and habits (KASH) and help
shape the class any teacher would love to inherit. It is not just
about results, but building the resilience and mindsets in learners
that will enable them to master any challenge they may face, in the
classroom and throughout their lives.Discover the powerful effects
of teaching backwards for yourself. Topics covered include: setting
high expectations, starting points, defining and demystifying the
destination, looking for proof of learning, challenge, feedback.
Foreword by Professor John Hattie.Teaching Backwards is the
follow-up to the best-selling Outstanding Teaching: Engaging
Learners. It is based on the analysis of thousands of hours of
primary and secondary lessons, part of Osiris Educational's
Outstanding Teaching Intervention programme over the last seven
years.For primary and secondary teachers.
A class can be skilled and motivated to learn without a teacher
always having to lead. Engaging learners in this way unpicks
intrinsic motivation, the foundation that underpins a productive
learning environment and helps to develop independent learning,
creativity and improved behaviour management. Based on five years
of intensive research through Osiris Educational's award-winning
Outstanding Teaching Intervention programme, during which the
authors have trained more than 500 teachers to teach over 1,300
lessons in schools nationwide, this book is packed with proven
advice and innovative tools developed in these successful
outstanding lessons. Written in the same humorous,
thought-provoking style with which they both teach and train, Andy
and Mark aim to challenge all who teach, from NQTs to seasoned
professionals, to reflect on their day-to-day practice and set an
agenda for sustainable teacher and leadership improvement.

In The Learning Imperative Mark Burns and Andy Griffith examine the
key ingredients that ensure effective learning, and offer leaders
step-by-step guidance on how they can achieve it in their own teams
and organisations. Learning is central to the long-term success of
any team - and is far too important to dismiss or to relegate to a
`nice to do' list. In The Learning Imperative, bestselling authors
Burns and Griffith explore the common barriers to effective
learning and present a range of practical tools and strategies to
help teams bring about - and reap the benefits of - a more positive
culture around training and development. Together they map out the
key stages of the learning journey and provide a comprehensive
guide for team leaders and managers who want to improve learning in
their teams. They also share essential advice on the design and
delivery of effective training programmes, and punctuate their
instruction with a range of illuminating case studies drawn from
real-life contexts across the public, private and third sectors.
The book has been split into three sections. Part I sets out why
creating and maintaining a learning team needs to be a high
priority, and provides an easy-to-use framework to help leaders
establish their team's starting points. Part II is designed to
assist leaders in fostering an open-to-learning mindset in their
teams - offering tools to diagnose any closed-to-learning mindsets
and supplying straightforward strategies to facilitate team
members' development in becoming habitually reflective, curious and
responsive to feedback. The final part of the book concerns the
designing and leading of effective learning, whether it is packaged
within a one-off session or a multi-session programme, and will
help leaders ensure that the learning their team participates in is
engaging, appropriately challenging and, most importantly, will
develop their performance. Whether you are an experienced leader or
just starting out in the role, this user-friendly manual will
empower you to boost your team's performance and to make a powerful
impact on their learning.
