Review

"What is expert teaching? How might research help teachers improve their practice? And, crucially, how can schools ensure that teachers have a clear understanding of what great teaching looks like? In The Teaching and Learning Playbook, Feely and Karlin provide persuasive answers to these very tricky questions.

In simple terms, this is a comprehensive, highly-practical manual for excellent teaching. Alongside helpful explanations of each pedagogical technique, the book also provides compelling and convincing video footage of what this might look like in the cut and thrust of a real classroom.

With its exemplification of key teaching concepts, in one fascinating and cohesive volume, The Teaching and Learning Playbook is a game-changer for both school leaders and classroom teachers."

Mark Roberts, Author, English Teacher, and Director of Research at Carrickfergus Grammar School

"A superb directory of carefully chosen and categorised classroom techniques that every classroom teacher will be better for using. Simple to follow steps, along with video explanations makes this a bible of 'go to' strategies for every teacher, irrespective of their age or stage. I only wish I'd had access to this playbook of experience and expertise when I first started teaching!"

Jon Tait, Education Author, Leader, and Speaker

"Effective PD thrives when we have clarity and consensus around 'what good looks like'. The Playbook is the most comprehensive attempt to codify great teaching in the UK to date."

Peps Mccrea, Dean, Ambition Institute

"The Teaching and Learning Playbook is a great guide for those who want to get better, or who want to help others do the same. It is as useful for teacher educators as it is for classroom teachers. The seven barriers is a concise summary of the best available evidence on why getting better is tough, and what we can do about it. The playbook contains a precise, clear guide for what teachers can productively focus their efforts on, and the right ways to implement teaching techniques."

Josh Goodrich, Founder Steplab, Teacher and Educator

"The Teaching and Learning Playbook is essential reading for school leaders looking to ensure the highest outcomes for their pupils. What we know about most successful schools in the county is they have a high level of organisational clarity. The Playbook provides evidence and research based approaches to support school leaders in the implementation of dozens of proven school improvement strategies. This is all done with a level of detail that prevents them from transforming into ‘lethal mutations’ or less effective versions of the strategy. I will recommend the Playbook to my colleagues and use it in all the leadership coaching and training I undertake."

"The Teaching and Learning Playbook’s premise of using clear models of excellence to evaluate teaching performance, combined with its video library, means it is an invaluable tool for teacher development. Its approach to developing a shared language of excellence and setting high standards for teaching is accessible and actionable."

5.0 out of 5 stars A game changing book for the industry!!

E.J. · 6 April 2023

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%.

5.0 out of 5 stars The kind of CPD I like.

J.m.v. · 7 October 2023

Step by step book of routines for the classroom. I have just started and the ones I have tried have gone down well in my classroom.The videos are helpful (if a little unrealistic - 10 kids in a class etc etc)I am looking forward to working my way through it. Only introducing a handful of routines at a time, to embed the routines in myself to make them instinctive. It will take a while to get through the entire book, but I am pleased with the progress so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sets us up for success

M.W.P. · 28 December 2022

This book, and its accompanying online resources, has the potential to transform teaching, learning and leadership. It is illuminating, practical, concise, and thoroughly researched.By first identifying how we may overcome the main barriers to teacher development whilst managing an already heavy and complex workload, Feely and Karlin set us up for success.The techniques that follow will both improve the quality of teaching in the classroom and lead to more effective line managing out of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for proactive teaching professionals.

J.M.(.1.y.w.i.e. · 19 December 2022

I love this whole school ‘ready to go’ teaching manual. It’s clear and concise format enables you to reflect on and take action to become a more effective educator.The brilliant supporting video library cements the theory by providing actual classroom footage of each technique, which demonstrates exactly how they should be delivered. It’s certainly a model of excellence worth investing time in.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for all teachers and leaders

A.C. · 18 December 2022

This is a fantastic book. It combines a solid research basis with practical ‘what to do’s’ to enable you to translate theory into practice. It is an essential guide for teachers offering strategies to develop their pedagogical understanding and practice. It works as a great companion to other teaching and learning strategies, such as TLAC, but goes further by breaking each strategy down at a granular level, this makes the playbook a very practical tool for teachers and leaders. It’s versatile book that will enable classroom practice to be transformed! Cannot recommend enough!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Book

During my teacher training I’ve purchased multiple books on how to teach! This one is by far the absolute best out there!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy read, clear and informative

Written in the Dixon’s style, this is an easy ready with real clarity of message. Lots to take away in any setting.

Enjoyed this

great

Good effort - poor video

D.A. · 18 June 2023

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.
