“This book is Nottingham’s masterpiece: a wonderful distillation of his decades spent immersed in the science, art and craft of education. The style is scintillating; a masterful blend of sharp anecdote, well-marshalled research evidence, and practical classroom implications which leaves the reader amused, inspired, challenged and engaged. I have no doubt that teachers who put just a fraction of the ideas contained in this work into classroom practice will add immense value to their students’ learning, and bring about a great sense of vocational satisfaction”.

PD Opportunities
If you would like me to work with your team next year, then get in touch as soon as you can. Past experience tells me that when one of my books is launched, there is an uptick in consultancy requests. I am of course delighted when this happened, but it puts pressure on my diary (perhaps the nicest problem to have after such troubling pandemic years)
The best consultancy is onsite. Getting into classrooms to lead demo lessons, working alongside staff in workshops, or keynoting conferences always generate energy and focus. Online consultancy is almost as good these days though, with added flexibility in terms of finance and scheduling. Options include webinars (for example, a 45-90min online event diving deeply into one of the topics in this new book), or staff coaching, Q&A sessions, and even half and full-day workshops (with lots of interaction to maintain focus and impact).
If you’d like to work with me, then please email my PA, Sarah Unwin

Book Summary
Chapter 1
When You Adjust Your TEACHING, It Transforms Students’ LEARNING
As a teacher, the way you think, and the decisions you make, lead to the biggest difference in your students’ learning. This chapter shares some criteria you could use to help make those decisions wisely.
Chapter 2
When You ENGAGE Your Students, Their Learning Gains PURPOSE
Student engagement has always been a concern, perhaps even more so now. How do you recognize it when you see it though, and perhaps more importantly, how do you improve it so that all students are ready to learn? The chapter also includes ways to use questioning and dialogue as ways to boost participation.
Chapter 3
When CHALLENGE Is Just Right, Students’ Abilities IMPROVE
Learning begins when students go beyond their current abilities. Unfortunately, many students actively avoid taking on challenges for fear of failure or ridicule. This chapter shows how to make levels of challenge ‘just right’ so that students more willingly step out of their comfort zone. It also includes Learning Pit approaches.
Chapter 4
When FEEEBDACK Is Used Brilliantly, It Adds Significant VALUE
Feedback is already one of the most powerful effects on student learning, so why write more about it? Well, firstly – its quality is so variable that one third of studies show negative effects! Secondly, too many school and faculty policies focus on how to give feedback whereas the ways in which students use it matters much more. And thirdly, timing is critical – give it too soon and you’ll stop students from learning but give it too late and it will rarely be used. This chapter shows how to put all this right – and more.
Chapter 5
When EXPECTATIONS Are High, Everybody PROSPERS
Every single student is capable of growing and improving. They won’t all achieve top grades, but they can all make excellent progress – so long as our expectations are high, and we teach them with this prediction in mind. What does that mean for classroom practice and interactions? This chapter explains all!
Chapter 6
When There is EQUITY, There is FAIRNESS
Digging ever deeper into the meta-analyses I used to create this book, I noticed how time and again, the outcomes for every strategy I recommend is even more impressive for at-risk students. They work for everyone – I wouldn’t have shared them if they didn’t – but they are even more effective in creating equity in the classroom This chapters tells you how – and why.
