Outstanding teaching : engaging learners

In an era when responsibility for exam results lies with teachers and not their students, it's time to redress the balance so that students are more accountable for their own learning. This text is packed with proven advice for teachers on how to engage learners, unpick intrinsic motivation, and develop independent study. A class can be skilled and motivated to learn without a teacher always having to lead. Engaging learners in this way unpicks intrinsic motivation, the foundation that underpins a productive learning environment and helps to develop independent learning, creativity and improved behaviour management. Written in the same humorous, thought-provoking style with which they both teach and train, Andy and Mark aim to challenge all who teach, from NQTs to seasoned professionals, to reflect on their day-to-day practice and set an agenda for sustainable improvement.
