With Bridget Clay — Routledge, 2018 — ISBN 9781138105997
Written with Bridget Clay and published by Routledge in 2018, Unleashing Great Teaching is a practical handbook for school, system and policy leaders on building a self-improving culture and removing barriers to teacher learning.
The book combines evidence-based research on adult learning with hands-on experience from the Teacher Development Trust, offering accessible guidance with checklists and real examples from schools. It covers organisational culture, research-informed professional development, evaluative practice, and applying cognitive science to teacher learning. It has been adopted by schools and systems around the world.
Remarkable for balancing research rigour with practical utility — solid evidence base with comprehensive reference lists.
