Have you ever wondered why your students don't revise? Or why they
revise ineffectively? Often, they simply don't know how. This is
where The Revision Revolution comes in. What if, instead of just
telling students to revise, we taught them explicit study skills
from Year 7? What if we made revision enjoyable, even irresistible?
The aim is not just to help students pass exams, but to embed their
learning and help them grow into knowledgeable and informed young
adults. In this book, Helen Howell and Ross Morrison McGill guide
you step by step through how to start and sustain a revision
revolution in your school, building a culture of effective study
that flows through all aspects of school life.

influential educationalists as to why and how these ideas work,

Hargreaves and many more, this book inspires readers to open their
eyes to how particular problems can be resolved and how other
schools are already doing this effectively. It is packed with ideas
and advice for all primary and secondary classroom teachers and
