This Much I Know About Truly Great Secondary Teachers
What We Can Learn From Them
Book •
John Tomsett travelled to observe and interview truly great secondary teachers, producing detailed, present-tense profiles that capture classroom practice and teacher perspectives.
He links these observations to established research (such as Rosenshine's principles) and identifies ten common behaviours and attitudes associated with pupil success.
The book balances qualitative narrative with quantitative evidence where available, arguing that enthusiasm, clarity, checking for understanding, high expectations and strong relationships underpin exceptional teaching.
Tomsett also reflects on curriculum design, assessment pressures and the importance of making learning irresistible.
The work is both celebratory and practical, aimed at helping teachers and leaders improve pedagogy and school culture.
