Barak Rosenshine's Principles of Instruction are widely recognised for their clarity and simplicity and their potential to support teachers seeking to engage with cognitive science and the wider world of education research. In this concise new booklet, Rosenshine fan Tom Sherrington amplifies and augments the principles and further demonstrates how they can be put into practice in everyday classrooms. The second half of the booklet contains Rosenshine's original paper Principles of Instruction, as published in 2010 by the International Academy of Education (IAE) - a paper with a superb worldwide reputation for relating research findings to classroom practice. Together with Sherrington's insightful and practical guidance, it forms a powerful booklet that no teacher can afford to be without. Review: Concise, incisive and comprehensive. - Sherrington's book is perfect reading for busy teachers. Whilst it is short and concise, it is nevertheless an incisive and a fully comprehensive guide to Rosenshine's 'Principles of Instruction". Sherrington gives context to the Principles in the introduction to his book, suggesting that they are worthy of our time because: (1) they bridge the gap between research and practice; (2) they are trustworthy because they have stood the test of time; and (3) they are recognisably authentic and will therefore appeal to busy teachers. The introduction is followed by a more detailed section in which Sherrington explores the four strands of the Principles. It is here that Sherrington offers practical, classroom-based examples of how the Principles might be applied. This will have huge appeal for teachers and leaders of learning. The final section of the book is a full reprinting of Rosenshine's paper 'Principles of Instruction' which is most useful to put alongside Sherrington's analysis of the ideas proposed by Rosenshine. Overall, this is a superb addition to any teaching and learning library and one which will surely become a standard text in time. Review: The best guide to classroom instruction? - It is hard to imagine a more useful summary of well-founded classroom instructional practice than Tom Sherrington's book. Presented in an easily-digestible style, complemented with excellent visuals, your copy will, if you are anything like me, sprout sticky notes of scribbled insights. In may cases, the ways of enacting the principles will be familiar to teachers. But the point is not to ask "Do I do this?", but rather to ask "How well do I do this?" For that reason the book will be of great benefit to both expert teachers and novices. Most powerfully, it could be used in schools as the basis of collaborative professional development, with teachers meeting together, proposing strategies to implement and reporting back in a spirit of group accountability. There is no doubt that "Rosenshine's Principles in Action" will be read and reread for years to come. and may set a trend in authors having the courage to write books which are brief, direct, and straight to the point.

Great summary with exposition
Short well structured book containing the principles and exposition regarding the expositions in practice. It doesn't take long to read the book and yet it contains lots of nuggets as well as some great principles for teaching practice based upon research evidence.

Rosenshine's simplicity amplified with classroom examples throughout
A brilliantly quick, but well written reminder of the excellent work of Rosehnshine. The principles have always seemed clear to me, but Tom adds a depth of in classroom reality of what this might look like in practice along with really useful examples from the coal face. The conclusion finishes with a really useful reminder of the need for the generic principles to be applied in a subject specific domain in order for real cohesion and success. Brilliant read that can be easily dipped in and out of. @ckbateman

Short, sweet, to the point
As a very new teacher I hadn't previously encountered Rosenshine. This is a fantastic short read which sets out and condenses his Principles of Instruction, relating the theory to classroom practice. Lots of reinforcement of already prevalent ideas, and some further elaboration on trickier concepts to apply to the classroom. A quick and useful read for any new teacher.

Excellent resource guide to teachers and trainee tutors
For past 3 months I have been studying how to tutor learning about learning theories etc. Now this book is so helpful in advising the best ways to teach and the author has taken Rosenshines principles of instruction and broke them down into 4 strands that are both logical and so helpful when building confidence in lesson planning. This as the work book has really given me confidence in my journey into teaching. I would say to any trainee teacher or tutor, buying this book and the workbook will really help you. It’s a valuable tool to keep by your side at all times. It’s small enough to fit in a bag and trust me this will be with me for a long time. Also check out the authors master class on YouTube, this book follows it very well. Well done Amazon on acquiring this title. It should be a teachers best seller
