Author Description

Brand new title to launch the Bloomsbury CPD Library, a new series of books that provides primary and secondary teachers with affordable, comprehensive and accessible 'do-it-yourself' continuing professional development (CPD).Marking and Feedback is a key area that every primary and secondary teacher must excel in. This book is a full guide to marking and feedback and will help teachers assess what level they are currently at and highlight the areas they need to improve. It provides an introduction to the main marking and feedback approaches and theory as well as practical ideas to use in the classroom straight away. There is also a strong focus on long-term development and progression of practice with evaluation strategies and questionnaires. The book is split into two sections: Train yourself and Train others, so it can be used by individual teachers to improve their own practice as well as by those looking for CPD training plans - either for a one off session, or a whole school programme. Books will be available in full paperback and ebook version, as well as in 2 seperate ebooks: Train yourself and train others. All of the authors will be specifically chosen because they are experts in their fields and because they are still working in schools. Every title will therefore be full of really up to date and original ideas, practical advice and achievable aims. The aim of the series will be to include the reader in a network of experts and teachers sharing ideas and working together to continually develop and improve.
