Conflicting government diktat and changeable Ofsted frameworks means
that navigating the path to outstanding can be challenging. However, the
integrity of an outstanding lesson will always be the same and this book
attempts to bottle that formula so that you can recreate it time and
time again.
In his first book, Twitter phenomenon and outstanding teacher, Ross
Morrison McGill provides a bank of inspirational ideas that can be
picked up five minutes before your lesson starts and put into practice
just as they are, or embedded into your day-to-day teaching to make
every lesson an outstanding lesson! In his light-hearted and
enthusiastic manner Ross guides you through the ideas he uses on a daily
basis for managing behaviour, lesson planning, homework, assessment and
all round outstanding teaching. Whether you are an experienced teacher
or someone who has little practical teaching experience, there are ideas
in this book that will change the way you think about your lessons.
Ideas include: Snappy starters, Open classroom, Smiley faces,
Student-led homework, Monday morning mantra and the popular five minute
lesson plan.
The 100 ideas series offers busy secondary teachers easy to implement,
practical strategies and activities to improve and inspire their
classroom practice. The bestselling series has been relaunched with a
brand new look, including a new accessible dip in and out layout.
Features include: Teachers tips, Taking it further tips, Quotes from the
Ofsted framework and teachers, Bonus ideas, Hashtags and online
resouces.
