Great for teachers and leaders
A great book for developing your own practice or basing a school CPD programme on. Really clearly written and structured making it easy to follow. The book and techniques are based in research but importantly it treats teachers as human beings. The videos are really useful too especially if using for CPD.

A game changing book for the industry!!
I absuloutley loved this book. From the writing style which was clear but concise to the interactive videos which helped explain and show how to implement the strategies. It’s a gold mine for any new or current teachers wanting to take their teaching skills to the next level. You can tell this was written with passion and expertise as all chapters are filled with relevant insight no matter the type of class / students. This is definitely a book all educators should read and keep using over the course of their careers, I will be. Would recommend 100%.

Good effort - poor video
Good book as a parallel resource to Doug Lemov’s “Teach Like a Champion”. If you know TLaC, you can easily see where MANY of these techniques are coming from - and then given different labels. The first seven chapters prior to laying out the techniques are well written and are full of important ideas regarding professional development. Regarding the techniques themselves, there is something positive about the simplicity of presenting the techniques in a very step by step and pared down fashion. There is certainly a clarity to this approach. At the same time the lack of context makes these techniques feel oversimplified and limits their usefulness for PD. I was hoping that the videos would help to make up for the oversimplification, but unfortunately the videos look totally staged - unlike those made in real classrooms with real students in the TLaC videos. Here the teachers look as if they were awkwardly running through scripts and the students move robotically. I would use some of this book as supplementary material for PD on teaching technique, but I would hesitate using any of the videos at all.
