Description

Teach to the Top: Aiming High for Every Learner This book offers a research-informed guide to aspirational teaching, focusing on how embedding higher-level knowledge in the classroom empowers students to succeed and enjoy learning. It sets out a vision for an education system where pupils of all attainment levels can make fantastic progress by being exposed to sophisticated concepts and afforded opportunities to think deeply and grapple with stimulating ideas. The author makes a convincing case for the centrality of subject knowledge and shows how affording teachers professional autonomy to develop their own knowledge benefits both teachers and students. The book provides a range of research-informed strategies for teaching to the top, including approaches to challenging classroom talk, increasing learners' confidence, and adaptable planning. By engaging with a wealth of educational research, Teach to the Top develops a persuasive justification for the entitlement of every child to higher-level knowledge, alongside providing teachers with practical suggestions and questions for reflection to apply this philosophy to their own classrooms.
