Chapter 1: Learning and progress Examines the relationship between teaching and learning. Chapter 2: Using data Explores using data to improve classroom practice, considering different types of data and evidence, ensuring reliability, and the formative, summative and diagnostic purpose of data. Updated for second edition. Chapter 3: Subject knowledge Examines the nature of subject knowledge, and how teachers can develop this into effective pedagogic knowledge that enables learners to connect with and make sense of diverse forms of knowledge for themselves. There is a clear link between subject knowledge and fluent teaching and this relationship is explored here - leading to authentic learning outcomes. Chapter 4: Differentiation Explores the subtleties and significance of differentiation, paying particular attention to differentiating by cognitive and metacognitive activity, time on task and flow of challenging work. There is an increased emphasis in the second edition on the importance of challenge. Chapter 5: Talk/feedback Focuses on written feedback and feedback as talk in lessons as a means of understanding learning and progress, and mediating support for learning. The chapter is underpinned by an understanding of how learning can be constructed in a social environment. There is a new emphasis in the second edition on the importance of independent learning skills, pupils' active participation in lessons and teachers' ability to assess progress during lessons and respond accordingly. Chapter 6: Resources This chapter focuses on three key resources available to teachers and learners to support progress
technology as a learning resource, the role that can be played by teaching assistants and the role of homework. Chapter 7: Leadership of teaching and learning In the second edition, this chapter includes six updated case studies of schools, ranging from those recently out of special measures to outstanding schools. An examination of these demonstrates the importance of improving the quality of teaching to ensure progress and improvement.
