Instead of recipes, this book examines the basic ingredients of teaching and learning so you can use them wisely in your own classroom in order to become a better and more effective teacher.
Taking an approach that is both evidence-based and practical, author Pedro de Bruyckere explores ten crucial aspects of teaching, the research behind them and why they work like they do, combined with everyday classroom examples describing both good and bad practice.
Key topics include:
- Teacher subject knowledge
- Evaluation and feedback
- The importance of practice
- Metacognition
- Making students think
This is essential reading for teachers everywhere.
Found this book too difficult to navigate.
A really useful resource for trainee teachers.
This has helped with my teaching in the class
Pedro uses recipes to deliver his ideas for great teaching which makes them instantly accessible and practical enough to use in your classroom the very same day. It is highly readable, very engaging and leaves the reader in no doubt which strategies should be considered and which should be avoided. I thoroughly recommend this book.
Excellent text for students and tutors.
