Making cpd resources work in the classroom
Dave Tushingham and Rhiannon Rainbow co-founded the GLTBookClub in 2020. The GLT refers to the Greenshaw Learning Trust, which is an academy trust, ‘building a ‘family’ of like-minded schools. The club started as a real-life book club, set up to help teachers and school leaders by bringing together relevant key publications and showing how the ideas and research can be translated into classroom practice.
Each ‘session’ follows a similar format, opening with a rationale for the choice of text, key ideas, take-aways, prompt questions for teachers and leaders and QR codes for further information.
In all, there are forty book summaries, including authors such as
David Didau: Making meaning in english
Alex Quigley: Closing the reading gap
Michael Chiles: The CRAFT of assessment
This is such an excellent resource that I really enjoyed reading. It is designed to support access to educational literature and to help the reader in making connections and becoming more confident in learning and developing areas of teaching.
There are useful guides to setting up a pedagogical book club and the authors reach out to their readers to get in touch. One of the best books of the year in my opinion.
