3. Excellence and growth =
calculated effort + great teaching
‘… the effect of achievement on self-concept is stronger
than the effect of self-concept on achievement’.
(Muijs and Reynolds, 2011)
10. Three key principles for explanation
1. Tether them to something already known.
2. Allow for the limited capacity of the working
memory.
3. Aim to make the abstract, concrete.
21. Questioning …
1. Should check for understanding – i.e. hinge
questions
2. Provoke deeper thinking.
3. Increase the ratio of participation and
thinking – ‘cold calling’

Editor's Notes
Remember difference between great teaching and great teacher – separate the person from the practice
Common language for teaching and learning.
Great teaching leads to independence and creativity.
Relationships and a positive classroom climate underpin everything.
Not a tick sheet – not all lessons will include all 6.
Long term goals – writing a speech.
Short term – learning the meaning of a new word.
Discuss the role of expectations – Pygmalion effect
Often overlooked in schools
Building metaphor – bulldoze expertise – rebuild in the phrase, imagery and incremental steps
