The Ingredients for Great Teaching

Teaching would be easy if there were clear recipes you could follow every time. The Ingredients for Great Teaching explains why this is impossible and why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work.

Key topics include:
This is essential reading for teachers everywhere.

Pedro uses recipes to deliver his ideas for great teaching which makes them instantly accessible and practical enough to use in your classroom the very same day. It is highly readable, very engaging and leaves the reader in no doubt which strategies should be considered and which should be avoided. I thoroughly recommend this book.
