Chapter breakdown
Chapter 1: Learning and progress
This chapter examines the relationship between teaching and learning.
Chapter 2: Using data
This chapter explores using data to improve classroom practice. It considers different types of data and evidence, ensuring reliability, and the formative, summative and diagnostic purpose of data.
Chapter 3: Subject knowledge
This chapter examines the nature of subject knowledge, and how teachers can develop this into effective pedagogic knowledge which enables learners to connect with and make sense of diverse forms of knowledge for themselves.
Chapter 4: Differentiation
Closely linked to the chapters on data and feedback, this chapter explores the subtleties and significance of differentiation. It pays particular attention to differentiating by cognitive and metacognitive activity, time on task and flow of challenging work.
Chapter 5: Talk/feedback
This chapter focuses on written feedback and feedback as talk in lessons as a means of understanding learning and progress, and mediating support for learning. The chapter is underpinned by an understanding that learning can be constructed in a social environment, one in which ideas can be tested out through dialogue.
Chapter 6: Resources
This chapter focuses on two key resources available to teachers and learners to support progress. Section 6a considers the use of technology as learning resource, and section 6b outlines the role that can be played by teaching assistants.
Chapter 7: Leadership of teaching and learning
Here you can access six case studies of schools ranging from those recently out of special measures to outstanding schools. An examination of these demonstrates the importance of improving the quality of teaching to ensure progress and improvement.
