There are three things that every teacher must do: mark work, plan lessons and teach students well. With teachers’ workload at record levels and teacher recruitment and retention the number one issue in education, ideas that really work and will help teachers not only survive but thrive in the classroom are in demand. Every idea in Mark. Plan. Teach. can be implemented by all primary and secondary teachers at any stage of their career and will genuinely improve practice. The ideas have been tried and tested and are supported by evidence that explains why they work, including current educational research and psychological insights from Dr Tim O’Brien, leading psychologist and Visiting Fellow at UCL Institute of Education. I would be very happy to recommend this book to novice teachers and would consider it to be a very useful addition to the reading lists for ITE programmes. Bloomsbury Education is thrilled to announce that they will publish the new book from best-selling author Ross Morrison McGill aka @TeacherToolkit in September 2017. Fully updated edition of Ross Morrison McGill's bestselling Mark. Plan. Teach., now complete with a visual guide to the key ideas, illustrated by Oliver Caviglioli.

Sharing Mark Plan Teach with 30,000 teachers, I often advocated that teaching is a team sport. Experienced teachers must help newer teachers solve complex, classroom problems.

Ifthere’sone criticism of this book, it is that it tries to be useful for everyone in a school. As a result, that can make it hard to get to the information that’s relevant to you relative to your role– teacher, middle leader, senior leader. InSection 2 (Plan),McGillargues that effective planningcentresonthe knowledge studentsmusttake forward.When planning lessons or curricula, we should askwhy students are doing particular activities and what they contribute to learning.

A few years ago, some of my students successfully nominated me for Boston College’s Excellence in Teaching with Technology Award, which I received in 2015. Yet, at the very same time of my nomination, I had one of my most difficult teaching moments ever. I love the way what Ross has written is so accessible and yet so provoking. Giving teachers hints, tips and practical ideas on how they can improve their practice and, ultimately, raise learning outcomes for their pupils is what matters, and by focusing on this, Ross does the entire country a huge service. Mark. Plan. Teach. is not only a very practical book for teachers but also a must-read for school leaders and teacher trainers. Its suggestions are grounded in educational practice and supported by education theories. The diagrams and straight-forward language make it so much easier to understand, demonstrate in teacher training or use as posters. I wish every school leader would read this book and make strategies accordingly to raise teaching quality while reducing teachers' workload. A must-read for school leaders and teacher trainers ...

As an academic and someone who has had a long career in initial teacher education (ITE), I am also particularly pleased to see the emphasis he puts on evidence. I am even more delighted that he takes a critical approach to this. He is clear about the complex variables involved in educational research and the danger of assuming that straightforward answers could be taken from it that would work in every context. Though these points are made very clearly near the beginning, occasionally throughout the book it could be argued that research and evidence is presented as unproblematic. In a landscape dominated with political hogwash, where teachers in England continue to work the longest hours and be paid one of the lowest salaries in OECD countries, teachers’ workload is at record levels. Despite increasing concerns, the government still has no coherent strategy for recruitment, retention or workload. Teachers are craving pragmatic ideas that work, sourcing strategies – which have the least fuss and greatest impact – to help them survive and thrive in the classroom! I am delighted to publish my third book which builds upon current debate in education; that all teachers work closely with strategies that are supported by evidence. In Mark Plan Teach I add a psychological perspective explaining why teachers do the things they do; to extrapolate what works and how teachers can understand, the cognitive and emotional processes of students. Whether you are an infant school teacher, a researcher and teacher in higher education, or a parent trying to help your child’s learning in virtual school or after school with their homework, this book will have something to say to you. It’s practical and clear but philosophical and inspirational too.

This header photo is an image taken from the very first public event I led, sharing ideas from Mark Plan Teach.Mark Plan Teach 2.0 builds upon how it has translated into a wide variety of contexts – the good and the not-so-good. The book highlights what I’ve learned from others, what works (or not), plus some new ideas I’ve discovered from my research at Cambridge University. Cutting straight to the heart of teacher workload, this book is full of provocative questions and range of classroom ideas and leadership strategies to demonstrate why teachers should do less, not more, to become truly effective. With teachers’ workload at record levels and teacher recruitment and retention the number one issue in education, ideas that really work and will help teachers not only survive but thrive in the classroom are in demand. In Mark. Plan. Teach. 2.0, Ross Morrison McGill shares his vision to shape learning, our classrooms and school communities and gives us the tools that enable our journey to make change happen. Thank you for your experience and insight.
