 LfL invites you to a presentation of the new edition of Reflective Teaching in Schools, the definitive textbook for reflective classroom professionals, written by Andrew Pollard in collaboration with his colleagues from the Faculty of Education: Kristine Black-Hawkins, Gabrielle Cliff Hodges, Pete Dudley, Mary James, Holly Linklater, Sue Swaffield, Mandy Swann, Fay Turner, Paul Warwick, Mark Winterbottom and Mary Anne Wolpert.
Reflective Teaching in Schools offers comprehensive and accessible guidance on key issues in classroom practice - including relationships, behaviour, curriculum planning, learning and teaching strategies, assessment processes and evaluation. And, uniquely, this new edition now also introduces evidence-informed ‘principles’ and ‘concepts’ to support a deeper understanding of teacher expertise – as trialed with primary and secondary practitioners across the UK.
 Andrew Pollard is Professor of Education and supports educational research at the Institute of Education, University of London, UK and the University of Bristol, UK. He taught for ten years before becoming a teacher educator and researcher. He was Director of the UK-wide Teaching and Learning Research Programme (TLRP) and both advised and challenged the government on the National Curriculum Review.

The LfL Supper Seminar under the title of ‘A silent revolution: the growth of co-operative schools in the UK’ which took place on February 11th was hugely successful. The speakers were Mervyn Wilson, Principal of the Co-operative College, Manchester, and Vanessa Scargill who is a headteacher in a cluster of schools in Aylsham, Norfolk. Attendance was high, including Faculty members and students (many of whom travelling from out of county). The presentation and dialogue focused on this fast growing alternative to academisation. So far, there are 700 schools registered as Cooperative Schools, which share a commitment to a set of values that champion collaboration rather than competition both within and between schools.
