Foreword by Professor Rob Coe

Through a set of in-depth case studies, This Much I Know About Truly Great Primary Teachers (and what we can learn from them) by John Tomsett dissects the complex and beautiful art of classroom teaching.

Covering a range of school types, social contexts, pupil ages and subjects, it brings to life how nine outstanding primary teachers engage, inspire, nurture and motivate their pupils. Each detailed vignette, based on observing the teachers teach, and discussions with them, their colleagues and pupils, brings the qualities of truly great teachers to life.

Each teacher is unique in the way they teach and in how they talk about teaching. But they also have some common behaviours and attitudes that make them truly great, which John draws together, summarising what we can learn from their unbridled enthusiasm, skill and dedication to giving their pupils the very best foundation for a bright future.

Essential reading for all primary school teachers, school leaders, teacher trainers and education researchers.
