What did I learn from this experience? For one thing, as innovation after innovation had landed successfully in my classes, I just wanted the rush of more of them. I was over-planning due to over-excitement. The classes were becoming expressions of my passions but ignoring theirs. Second, I was a victim (or beneficiary) of my own hubris. Just because I was Teacher of the Year with one bunch of classes didn’t mean I could be Teacher of the Year in all of them. Some of the issues outlined above are a consequence of the “chunked, bite-sized” approach that is taken throughout the book. On the whole, this is a strength: it makes it very usable as a reference guide. It’s certainly helpful for a novice teacher who is trying to navigate their way through the myriad issues they need to consider as they get to grips with effective classroom practice. With teachers' workload at record levels and teacher recruitment and retention the number one issue in education, ideas that really work and will help teachers not only survive but thrive in the classroom are in demand. Every idea in Mark. Plan. Teach. can be implemented by all primary and secondary teachers at any stage of their career and will genuinely improve practice. The ideas have been tried and tested and are supported by evidence that explains why they work, including current educational research and psychological insights from Dr Tim O'Brien, leading psychologist and Visiting Fellow at UCL Institute of Education. Sharing Mark Plan Teach with 30,000 teachers, I often advocated that teaching is a team sport. Experienced teachers must help newer teachers solve complex, classroom problems. Every idea in Mark. Plan. Teach. can be implemented by all primary and secondary teachers at any stage of their career.

Plan: More Trust, Less Crime and High The Turnaround Plan: More Trust, Less Crime and High

A few years ago, some of my students successfully nominated me for Boston College’s Excellence in Teaching with Technology Award, which I received in 2015. Yet, at the very same time of my nomination, I had one of my most difficult teaching moments ever. In a landscape dominated with political hogwash, where teachers in England continue to work the longest hours and be paid one of the lowest salaries in OECD countries, teachers’ workload is at record levels. Despite increasing concerns, the government still has no coherent strategy for recruitment, retention or workload. Teachers are craving pragmatic ideas that work, sourcing strategies – which have the least fuss and greatest impact – to help them survive and thrive in the classroom! I am delighted to publish my third book which builds upon current debate in education; that all teachers work closely with strategies that are supported by evidence. In Mark Plan Teach I add a psychological perspective explaining why teachers do the things they do; to extrapolate what works and how teachers can understand, the cognitive and emotional processes of students. A must-read for school leaders and teacher trainers ... I wish every school leader would read this book' Dr Min Du, Teacher, researcher and international education consultant With teachers’ workload at record levels and teacher recruitment and retention the number one issue in education, ideas that really work and will help teachers not only survive but thrive in the classroom are in demand.The ideas have been tried and tested and are supported by evidence. Mark. Plan. Teach. shows how each stage of the teaching process informs the next, building a cyclical framework that underpins everything that teachers do. Bloomsbury Education is thrilled to announce that they will publish the new book from best-selling author Ross Morrison McGill aka @TeacherToolkit in September 2017. Thomas Raine finds this book is a handy repository of what we know about effective teaching, with a relentless focus on reducing workload Ifthere’sone criticism of this book, it is that it tries to be useful for everyone in a school. As a result, that can make it hard to get to the information that’s relevant to you relative to your role– teacher, middle leader, senior leader. As an academic and someone who has had a long career in initial teacher education (ITE), I am also particularly pleased to see the emphasis he puts on evidence. I am even more delighted that he takes a critical approach to this. He is clear about the complex variables involved in educational research and the danger of assuming that straightforward answers could be taken from it that would work in every context. Though these points are made very clearly near the beginning, occasionally throughout the book it could be argued that research and evidence is presented as unproblematic.
