Reflective Teaching is the definitive textbook for reflective classroom professionalism. It offers exceptional support for trainee teachers, mentors, newly qualified teachers and for those engaged in continuing professional development and performance review.


Andrew Pollard's Reflective Teaching has been established for over twenty years. Each edition builds on that foundation and offers something new. This edition is enhanced by:


* A new look: a larger format, fresh text design, children's photographs and additional illustrations making the book more attractive and user-friendly than ever before.

* New content to reflect contemporary innovations such as Personalized Learning, Assessment for Learning, Pupil Consultation and Every Child Matters.

* Updates throughout in line with new teaching Standards and Competences in each part of the UK.

* Advanced material to respond to the introduction of Master's Level study within many PGCE courses, the growth in evidence-informed professional practice and more coherent continuing professional development.

* Research Briefings from the Teaching and Learning Research Programme (TLRP) - the UK's largest ever coordinated initiative on educational research.

Reflective Teaching is the most comprehensive, evidence-informed handbook on teaching, and remains, as ever, both practical and accessible.


‘This book and its associated resources have extremely serious intentions and contemporary relevance. We wish to support the continuing development of high-quality professionals who can enhance pupil attainment, and we also want to support new teachers in understanding the contexts in which they work and the significance of what they do.' Andrew Pollard
