Central to the book is the author's well-known `ripples on a pond' model of learning, which identifies fundamental factors underpinning successful learning: wanting to learntaking ownership of the need to learnlearning by doinglearning through feedbackmaking sense of what is being learneddeepening learning through explaining, coaching, teachingfurther deepening learning through assessing - making informed judgements The book encourages teachers and students to address these factors head-on in a wide range of contexts, including large-group teaching, the design of assessment, small-group work, reflection, and in making good use of formative feedback. As well as a thorough update based on feedback to the previous version, this edition includes three new chapters.
