Product reviews for The Expert Teacher
Mark Moorhouse, Head Teacher, Matthew Moss High School
Darren Mead's tour de force, The Expert Teacher, illuminates the complex business of teaching and learning with absolute clarity - and is a must-read for teachers aiming to develop a real professionalism in the classroom.
Painstakingly researched, the book equips the reader with a whole armoury of structuring tools and frameworks, all made accessible by Darren's well-chosen and illuminating applications and anecdotes. The book's content and message is also well-balanced, with its nourishing imperative to think deeply and rigorously about the journey of knowledge acquisition wisely countered by its permissive advocacy of tinkering with -˜the exquisite lesson plan' mid flow if and when it simply isn't working. A further energy within this wonderful book is a vein of scurrilous and irreverent humour, which provides welcome - and nearly always well-judged - colour.
The moment has definitely arrived for this book to make a significant contribution to the evolution of the teaching profession.
