Aimed at teachers who want to teach outstanding lessons, this book introduces Tweaks for Teachers- small changes that make a big difference! It will show teachers how to review and build on their lesson plans, making small changes to incorporate elements that will make them outstanding. The book is made up of real lesson plans covering all of the secondary subject areas with analysis and commentary of the key strengths of the lesson as well as the missed opportunities, offering 'tweaks' that could be made to make the lessons outstanding. This format means that it is not only useful to those teachers wanting to develop their practice, but it is also a really useful training tool for those with responsibility for training new teachers or for CPD as the lesson plans are ready made examples that could be given to teachers who are having difficulties in certain areas. The book is focused on the four areas that have the biggest impact on the learning and enjoyment of pupils and their teachers- assessment for learning, effective questioning, stretch and challenge and development of commitment to learning. It also includes discussions of how to make marking more meaningful whilst remaining manageable and how to demonstrate progress at any point in a lesson.
