This book and associated videos look at the issue that concerns teachers most - that is, what it means to be an effective teacher. Six primary school teachers have been filmed and analysed using recent research findings. This will all help make clear what teacher skills and professional characteristics combine to produce effective teaching. The extensive manual outlines each of the individual teacher's intentions and aspirations and then allows you to compare this with some 30 minutes of video focusing on their classroom practice. Finally, these two impressions are compared with the designated features of effective teaching and learning as outlined in the Hay McBer report.
