Description

Whisper it quietly: a lot of time is being wasted in a lot of schools. Actually, why are we whispering What we should really be doing is calling this out loudly! The job of schools is too important for us to keeping quiet. Schools are in the transforming lives business. There is no time to waste! In The Teaching Delusion: Why Teaching In Our Schools Isnt Good Enough (And How We Can Make It Better), Bruce Robertson explored delusions that are holding our schools back. In this sequel, The Teaching Delusion 2: Teaching Strikes Back, he digs deeper into three areas: curriculum, pedagogy and leadership. In doing so, he tackles the issue of time-wasting head-on. By calling out specific delusions in each area, Robertson suggests strategies for dismantling these and offers a clear roadmap forward. Backed by a depth of research and a breadth of experience, The Teaching Delusion 2: Teaching Strikes Back will give teachers and school leaders the supportive shake-up they need, helping them to abandon practices that arent making the difference they should be, and to focus on the things that will really make the biggest difference to students in our schools.
