So... What Does an Outstanding Teacher Do? - A Visible Learning Evidence Based Approach - Cat Chowdhary - Paperback Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - 2023

Description

What distinguishes an Outstanding Teacher ? A question asked in numerous interviews - and one that''s much easier to ask than to answer. Many teachers will admit they don’t actually know what ‘Outstanding’ looks like. It''s not about creating jazz hands lessons for a one-off observation, through ''prepping, stressing and box-ticking''. It isn’t something that can be achieved in a single lesson. It is a craft that needs developing like any other skill. This guide expands on previous works by discussing long-term development, the benefits of embedding skills, learner attributes and the impact of COVID. Influenced by John Hattie''s Visible Learning research, So...What does an Outstanding Teacher Do ? provides practical guidance and opportunities for self-reflection for teachers who want to maximise their positive impact on students’ learning. Areas covered include: - - Feedback - - - Student voice - - - Self-regulation - - - Teachers working collectively - - - Differentiated learning objectives - - - SOLO Taxonomy - - - Questioning and observation - Chowdhary provides teachers with recommendations for enhancing practice that easily apply to any classroom, regardless of their subject, speciality or position. Whether you are a PGCE Student, an ECT or a practising teacher, this book is a practical and accessible guide for any teacher who aspires to maximise their positive impact and become truly outstanding.
