Being a teacher is far from easy. Being the best teacher you can be is even tougher. There are two really important things that every teacher needs to get right so that they feel fulfilled and challenged in what they do. Firstly, they need to continually develop their craft through effective professional learning. Secondly, they need to map out a career path that has progression as its defining feature. There are very few people who manage to do both things well. Education doesn’t stand still, so being a good teacher means being in a constant state of evolution. How do we achieve this? Covering the latest developments in professional learning, Kate Jones and Robin Macpherson explore the massive changes that the global pandemic has brought, seeing it as a paradigm shift with manifest opportunities. The corollary to this is career progression, which is really about making the right professional choices. Are you a one school person for your whole time in teaching? Do you change location or role? Do you harbour leadership ambitions? And crucially, how do you finish your career on a high? Working out what you want to achieve in your teaching life is a core focus of the book, and is addressed through a range of interviews, case studies, and challenge questions. It is not about telling you what to do but prompting you to reflect on what you do. The Teaching Life is for anyone who wants to make the most of their time in education, for their students and for themselves.

Som lärare är det lätt att bli frustrerad över att pedagogisk forskning och praktik ibland känns väldigt långt ifrån varandra. Den forskning som bedrivs utmynnar ofta i fler frågor än raka svar. Hur använder jag den här forskningen konkret i undervisningen? Vad innebär den för mig i klassrummet?...och hur gör jag i klassrummet? Pedagogikforskning i praktiken tar fasta på den här frustrationen där de två författarna Carl Hendrick och Robin Macpherson, båda lärare med lång erfarenhet, intervjuar några av de främsta pedagogiska tänkarna idag, till exempel Dylan Wiliam, Daisy Christodoulou, David Didau och Doug Lemov. Berörda områden är bland annat bedömning, motivation, minnesträning, psykologi och lärandemyter. Frågorna som ställs är rättframma och relevanta vilket ger konkreta svar som kan användas direkt i klassrummet....och hur gör jag i klassrummet? vänder sig till alla verksamma lärare som söker ett handfast, helhetstäckande undervisningsstöd. Carl Hendrickär fil. dr i pedagogik på Wellington College i England. I grunden är han engelsklärare. Robin Macphersonär historielärare och just nu vice rektor på Dollar Academy (en framstående internatskola) i Skottland. Både Carl och Robin har lång erfarenhet av läraryrket och föreläser ofta vid konferenser om skola och utbildning, till exempel researchED. Sagt om boken:”Frågorna och svaren i boken, i god översättning från engelska (och emellanåt är det brittiska förhållanden som skiner igenom), tror jag kan vara en inspiration i yrkesverksamheten och sporra till diskussion i arbetslagen ute på skolorna.” Linus Björk, BTJ-häftet nr 2, 2020.

Educators in the UK and around the world are uniting behind the need for the profession to have access to more high-quality research and evidence to do their job more effectively. But every year thousands of research papers are published, some of which contradict each other. How can busy teachers know which research is worth investing time in reading and understanding? And how easily is that academic research translated into excellent practice in the classroom In this thorough, enlightening and comprehensive book, Carl Hendrick and Robin Macpherson ask 18 of today's leading educational thinkers to distill the most up-to-date research into effective classroom practice in 10 of the most important areas of teaching. The result is a fascinating manual that will benefit every single teacher in every single school, in all four corners of the globe.
