It became apparent to me throughout my years in education that the most obvious thing we don’t do as teachers is the very thing we should be doing more of – talking to pupils with their books. The question was how to do that without feeling overwhelmed, underprepared and wasting valuable time asking questions that lack structure and impact. This is how Pupil Book Study began, with the need for a systematic toolkit that enables leaders and teachers to focus on evaluating their curriculum, teaching and learning in a precise, evidence-rich environment. Schools across the world now use this evidence-led system to quality assure the curriculum provision, teaching and long-term learning. Recently, we have modelled Pupil Book Study and led sessions for Senior HMI and policy makers at Ofsted.
