How Do They Do It?

With so many schools doing amazing work, How Do They Do It? What can we learn from amazing schools, leaders and teachers? by Mark and Zoe Enser is a much-needed celebration of successful teachers and school leaders. Drawing on their combined experience as teachers, school leaders and former HMIs and members of Ofsted's Curriculum Unit, they answer one central question: how do amazing schools do it?Using the Ofsted Education Inspection Framework (EIF), they break aspects of school life down into their component parts and identify the best practice of highly successful schools and the not so great practice of less successful ones. Together, Mark and Zoe unpick what we mean by a high quality of education, what matters when it comes to pupil attitudes and the importance of education going beyond the academic and including personal development. Along the way, they bust some common myths about inspections and offer thought-provoking reflective questions which will help school leaders and teachers improve their practice. Ideal for busy teachers and school leaders, this book is broken up into bite-size sections for readers to dip in and out and read the advice they need most. Suitable for teachers of all levels, head teachers, Ofsted inspectors and anyone interested in education today.
