Synopsis

Nothing strikes such fear into the heart of the over-worked, undervalued teacher as the prospect of inspection. Perhaps it is because we feel it often involves being measured against and inserted into a de-humanizing four-point scale. Few of us glow with pride when we are awarded the dubious title of Satisfactory; even more frustrating sometimes can be arriving second at the finishing line with a didn't-quite-make-it Good. So how do we ensure that the much coveted Outstanding box gets ticked? And why do an elite few keep it such a privileged fellowship? Pimp Your Lesson reveals, in detail, the secrets to impressing the pants off your observer, whether it be your Head of Department, Headteacher, Mentor or - worse still - Ofsted!

Media Reviews
No board marker is left unturned in this down-to-earth, yet pull-out-all-the-stops, practical guide to making teaching and learning outstanding in every aspect... Highly recommended for all teachers and trainee teachers Sue Howarth, SSR, September 2008
This is not a book aimed at particular subject specialists, but for all teachers of all subjects; and, given the ambition of that range, the authors should be congratulated on successfully managing to have useful things to offer most teachers in most subjects. Classroom, Spring 2008
Mentioned as a contender for the Diagram Prize. --Sanford Lakoff
[An] inspiring book, Pimp Your Lesson! does exactly what its subtitle suggests: 'prepare, Innovate, Motivate and Perfect'... [it] is accessible and entertaining both for busy teachers who need to dip in for a nugget of advice or for those who wish to read a more thorough overview of a specific educational initiative --Sanford Lakoff
'Extremely easy to read and there is a sense of lightness and humour throughout... Even though I have been a teacher for 29 years I learnt something from this book and will use it in my teaching.' --Sanford Lakoff
