ABSTRACT

Quick, simple and effective, this book is an essential resource for anyone who lectures or teaches. Developed by a respected educational researcher, it takes readers step by step through a series of diagnostic stages that will help them to understand, analyse and improve their teaching.
Much more than a series of teaching tips, this is a serious guide to reflecting on professional practice. The diagnostic questions help readers to identify and critically consider the key components of their teaching in order to help to direct attention and energies appropriately.
It is designed to be both quick (it can be worked through easily in a day) as well as being suitable for deeper reflection and analysis. Based on extensive research, this book delivers both a quick, confidence boosting fix, as well as being a reassuring guide to return to again and again.
