ABSTRACT

How do you get better at teaching? It often seems you get better by practice but it is not as simple as that. With practice you may get more fluent, and pupils will get more used to you and your teaching style, but if you are really going to have a greater impact on pupils’ learning you will need to take a close look at your strengths and areas for development. Knowing your strengths will give you a greater sense of confidence and provide structure to the improvement of your teaching. Knowing your areas to develop, and acting on them, will enable you to become a rounded teacher.
