Review
Teaching One-Pagers would have been so helpful to me earlier in my career; it was all pretty hit and miss! These summaries of what we currently understand as the most important and efficient ways to improve outcomes will act both as an aide-memoire for those who have already delved into these fields and a gateway for those who are new to this work. It's hard to distil this information and to capture the kernels. A great boon for the profession. ― Mary Myatt, education writer and speaker
This is a terrific book! A great addition to any PD library. Jamie has included an impressive amount, in terms of the content, and has done so with concise, clear and incredibly helpful explanations. Teaching One-Pagers can be used to support individual teachers' improvement and reflection, or as part of professional dialogue amongst a department, or even to help ensure consistency across a whole school. An insightful, informative and interesting read. ― Kate Jones, author and teacher
