Teaching One-Pagers Volume 2
Evidence-Informed Summaries for Busy Educational Professionals
Jamie Clark
Teaching One‑Pagers Volume 2 by Jamie Clark offers a compelling, visually aligned companion to the original, purpose‑built for today’s over‑stretched educators. Drawing on cognitive science and school‑culture research, Clark presents 65+ bite‑sized summaries structured around Tom Sherrington’s Learning Rainforest framework: School Culture, Mode A (teacher-led foundational learning) and Mode B (creative, student-led activities).
Each A4 one‑pager distils ‘What? Why? How?’ in a structured, appealing layout, seamlessly blending clarity with substance. The School Culture section helps leaders and teachers foster shared routines, high expectations, and trust. Mode A paces through Rosenshine’s Principles, explicit instruction, cognitive load, retrieval practice, among others, always, as expected, packing each with practical links to classroom strategies. Mode B shifts into richer territory with oracy, projects, debates and play experiences that extend core knowledge.
The book’s strength’s are similar to the first volume. It is highly accessible and applicable. Its visual design makes it staff‑room friendly and a perfect prompt for reflective dialogue in coaching, meetings, or podcasts, without mumbo‑jumbo. As Clark says, the goal isn’t exhaustive coverage but something reliably sharp and digestable enough to fuel CPD and spark curiosity. Each section is also backed with thoughtful ‘Read more’ suggestions.
Although intentionally concise this format has proven a winner for time‑poor teachers and school leaders. It’s ideal for pre‑service staff keen to strengthen instructional knowledge or support staff who support classroom routines. Some may want deeper dives into individual topics, but that’s exactly what the pointers are for.
In short, Teaching One‑Pagers Volume 2 is a professionally warm, practically rich resource that invites staff‑room conversation, energises PD sessions, and nurtures instructional growth. For educators ready to connect evidence, enhance practice, and spark meaningful discussions - this beautifully designed compendium will deliver on impulse and impact.
