Unleashing Great Teaching Reviews

Unleashing Great Teaching is a remarkable book. It combines research on adult learning and the authors' hands-on experiences of working with schools to produce an accessible, practical, and at times entertaining 'how to' for improving teacher learning. Should be on the desk of every school leader in the country (if not the world).

Lucy Crehan, teacher, education explorer and international education consultant, UK

This book provides a valuable insight into the world of 'school' and the many different layers of learning that take place. From leaders to teachers to pupils, it delves into what is effective and works best in a variety of schools. It discusses topics that are sometimes forgotten such as the culture of a school and 'cultivating a culture of learning' that applies to both staff and pupils. As a current member of SLT, I have found this book to be an insightful window into how schools could operate if senior leaders ran through the same processes that Weston and Clay describe in great detail. It is a book that I will be sharing with my fellow colleagues and one that I will return to again and again.

Portia Anane-Busia, UKEdChat

Unleashing Great Teaching is packed with insights for school leaders and teacher-educators, drawn from extensive experience in the field. These include a helpful summary of the common pitfalls when using research to inform professional development, a detailed consideration of developing support staff, and advice on how to apply cognitive science to teacher learning at both a macro and a micro level.
