Review

David Dunn has written a highly challenging and yet supportive text for primary school professionals. His book surveys all the essential elements of high quality professional practice and explores, in a practical and purposeful way, strategies to help move teachers to the highest levels of professional practice. This book will be a powerful resource for personal reflection and planning, as a support for performance management and as the basis of shared professional learning and development. --John West-Burnham, Professor of Educational Leadership at St Mary s University College, Twickenham, UK

This book contains many excellent, practical, and often fun ideas to stimulate pupils learning and it is written in an encouraging and cheerful style which carries the reader along. Over many years in the classroom, David Dunn has experimented with many teaching tactics and ideas and shares his successes, and failures, with his audience. It will be a very useful reference book for all teachers, particularly those who are new to the profession. --Claire Gillies, Observer on Teachers TV 'Good to Outstanding'

This book has all the ingredients you need to deliver an outstanding lesson in the context of twenty first century education. Read it carefully, use it with rigour and then add your own passion personality and flair. The outcome will be outstanding teachers and outstanding learners --Will Ryan, Primary Education Consultant

I bought this for my daughter in her 2nd year as a student primary teacher. She has found the book an invaluable asset for her course and her placements. When on placement the teachers at the schools have ordered copies for themselves. A highly recommended book.

I purchased this book based on all of the other great reviews about it, and I was not disappointed. Being a student primary school teacher in my 2nd year, I wanted some good ideas to use on placements and a deeper understanding of what is required to ensure excellent practice. This book is very easy to get into, you could read it all the way through or dip in and out of bits. It contains loads of great ideas to use in the classroom, some of which I will definitely be trying on placement, including ideas for assessment for learning, starters, plenaries and group work. It also gives helpful advice on marking and creating effective learning objectives and success criteria when planning. Well worth buying, I can see this being dipped into for years to come.

I have been feeling very jaded and unenthusiastic about teaching just recently. This book has really fired my imagination and has encouraged me to really reflect on my teaching. It has great practical advice, in a straightforward and clear manner, giving details and information that one would like to know but are too afraid to ask in school in case you are considered an inadequate teacher!

I will be implementing many of the strategies and ideas discussed in this great book. It is a must for every teacher.

Outstanding teaching.
This is a clear, concise, chatty easy read that explains that outstanding teaching isn't just about one observed lesson, but a way of being in the classroom. Hooray.

What do you think you have learned from this lesson? Explain to a partner. How do we know that we have been successful? What could we make better next time? What have you learned that youd like to share with the class? &quote;

Make sure all the children are clear about what is expected of them when the tasks or activities begin. Meet individual needs through differentiation. Ensure activities involve thinking in order to develop understanding. &quote;
