This book offers a systematic, coherent approach to effective teaching, with ideas and strategies carefully developed in a specific sequence to build understanding and support successful implementation. Rather than a book to dip in and out of, it is designed to be read from beginning to end. Starting with the overarching educational principles that underpin the approach, it moves into the practical, day-to-day components of effective classroom teaching before stepping back to consider the longer-term and strategic decisions that shape teaching and learning. Each section builds on what has come before, helping you connect the big picture with the practical actions that make a difference in the classroom.
