Foreword by Professor Rob Coe



Through a set of in-depth case studies, This Much I Know About Truly Great Secondary Teachers (and what we can learn from them) by John Tomsett brings to life how eleven outstanding secondary teachers cultivate great learning in their classrooms.



Covering a range of school types, social contexts, pupil ages and subjects, each detailed vignette is based on observing the teachers teach, and discussions with them, their colleagues and pupils. The conversations that form the heart of this book provide a picture of not just what these teachers do, but why they do it: the choices and adaptations they make, and the pedagogic and philosophical principles that guide them.



Each teacher is unique in the way they teach and in how they talk about teaching, but they also have some common behaviours and attitudes that make them truly great. John draws together these characteristics, summarising what we can all learn from their utter dedication, enthusiasm and commitment to preparing the next generation for a bright future.



Essential reading for all secondary school teachers, school leaders, teacher trainers and education researchers.

He runs a blog entitled “This Much I Know” and has written extensively on topics related to school leadership, as well as enhancing teaching and learning.



John advocates that the primary duty of all headteachers is to develop exceptional teaching.

In the Huh: Curriculum series, he worked alongside curriculum specialist Mary Myatt.
