A valuable reflective resource for teachers
in their continuous search to improve classroom effectiveness.

recordings of five experienced teachers in action, together
with a clear commentary and analysis that draw succinctly
on A Model of Teacher Effectiveness, the report
by Hay McBer to the Department for Education

as a stimulus for dicussion amongst teachers, can be
used:
- during school INSET, as a springboard
for discussion of classroom management;
- by training colleges, to show students
examples of effective teaching and use these as a
stimulus for discussion;
- by ITT students, to supplement their
own classroom observation.
The Stage 1 outcome of the VITAL (Video
& Internet Teaching Across Lands) Project.
Back cover
We can all learn to be more effective
as teachers, no matter how proficient and skilled we
are already. That is the core belief behind the VITAL
('Video and Internet Teaching Across Lands') Project,
and the present book.
