Biographical note
Ross Morrison McGill, aka @TeacherToolkit, is the most followed teacher on Twitter in the UK. His practical, inspiring lesson ideas are what make him so successful. His 5 Minute Lesson Plan is used by teachers all over the world! In 2015 he was listed in the Debrett's 500 as one of the 'most influential people in Britain'. He is the bestselling author of 100 Ideas for Secondary Teachers: Outstanding Lessons, Teacher Toolkit, Mark. Plan. Teach. and Just Great Teaching, and is currently studying for a doctorate at the University of Cambridge.I love the way what Ross has written is so accessible and yet so provoking. Giving teachers hints, tips and practical ideas on how they can improve their practice and, ultimately, raise learning outcomes for their pupils is what matters, and by focusing on this, <b>Ross does the entire country a huge service</b>.

There's a lot of pressure put on teachers to be exceptional educationalists but without all the tools. Where is the space to learn through making mistakes and where can you find support from those with lived experience and expertise? Ross Morrison McGill addresses a wide range of practical approaches such as celebrating mistakes and working smarter not harder, providing clarity, insight and plans into the areas we don't talk about. It's <b>a wonderful book</b> which non-educators will find equally useful.

<i>Mark. Plan. Teach.</i> is not only <b>a very practical book</b> for teachers but also <b>a must-read</b> for school leaders and teacher trainers. Its suggestions are grounded in educational practice and supported by education theories. The diagrams and straight-forward language make it so much easier to understand, demonstrate in teacher training or use as posters. <b>I wish every school leader would read this book</b> and make strategies accordingly to raise teaching quality while reducing teachers’ workload.
- Dr Min Du, Teacher, researcher and international education consultant, @MinCam2016
This is <b>a great book</b> for early career teachers, or those who wish to refresh their pedagogical approaches in line with strong recent research findings that go <b>beyond educational fads</b>.

This really is what it says on the cover, a teacher’s tool kit. A <b>very professionally researched and well delivered handbook</b>…It is written in a supportive and informative way and at no point is it patronising (unlike many inset lectures!) The various points are informatively written in concise chapters, with an ‘ideas snapshot’ at the start of each topic and useful references to further reading.
