Abstract

'This is another excellent and accessible practice guide from someone who, unusually, understands the classroom teacher from long years of practice and the theory. The chapter on 'observation of teachers' should be read by every head teacher, deputy and teacher who engages in monitoring classroom practice. Note; a few inspectors would benefit too! It's one to read and then refer to on a regular basis if you work in schools or university departments' - Tim Brighouse, Chief Adviser for London Schools. Drawing directly on real-life experience, the latest research and current good practice, this book will help people in a mentoring, coaching, advisory or management role. Sara Bubb takes the reader though every stage of CPD, from what professional development is, to how you can support and train staff in your own school. Useful proformas and photocopiable worksheets are included.
