Mary Myatt, educational consultant

I’m a simple soul and I’m always looking for ways to bring abstract ideas like ‘quality first teaching’ to life. Terms like these are talked about a lot; rarely are they exemplified. What John has done in Truly Great Primary Teachers is to identify and profile the work of individual teachers to help me to get some purchase on QFT. As I read these accounts of teachers who are having a profound impact on their pupils both academically and personally, I realised I can learn from each of them: the way they develop rapport with their classes, the way they pitch the lessons high, the way they include every child. And, above all, the delight they take in weaving it all together. This is such a heart-warming, unique lens on the profession. We can all take something from these wonderful profiles of brilliant professionals.
