The students learn through reading, and they may never realise just how much reading the teachers do behind the scenes.

The Teaching and Learning Playbook is a go-to guide for teachers, with more than 100 techniques to try to make improvements in the classroom and across the school as a whole. These include topics such as routines for learning, resilience, curriculum, and so much more.

Plus, anyone who purchases this book can also access the video tutorial online, which showcases each technique in action.

Other titles are more subject specific. Yes, but why? Teaching for understanding in mathematics offers help for teachers looking to better explain why what you’re doing in maths class actually works.
