The book will encourage, motivate and inspire trainee teachers, recently qualified, early career and established teachers to reach the heights of their potential.” Dr. Tracy Whatmore, Senior Lecturer at the University of Birmingham, UK “An easy to read book with sound practical advice underpinned by theory which every trainee teacher or early career teacher can dip into for guidance. It captures the essence of primary teaching through the metaphor of a coat and I’m sure readers will adapt their coats accordingly as they journey through the book.” Professor Vini Lander, Edge Hill University, UK “Outstanding Primary Teaching and Learning” is an absolute must-read for teachers of any age or experience who would like to become more outstanding in their practice. Written from a unique and highly reflective perspective of pedagogy as an art, a proactive and inspiring approach is taken to journey the reader along a personalised path, enabled through highly constructive and reflective opportunities.” Alexander S Phipps, Postgraduate Student, Institute for Education, The University of Chichester, UK “Sally’s writing style is both personal and humorous, which will engage and motivate busy teachers.  She seamlessly combines the latest theories and applies them to classroom practice.  By including regular reflection tasks, this book can become a valuable accompaniment to trainees regular mentor meetings.  Those who engage with Sally’s questions and follow her recommendations, will develop a deep understanding of the role of the teacher and will develop a substantial toolkit to draw upon in the classroom.” Mark Bagust, Associate Headteacher, Cantell School, UK
