"A great little book for teachers based on robust evidence." Carl Hendrick, Head of Learning and Research at Wellington College

This book is for any teacher who's interested in improving their lesson planning and practice. It has been carefully constructed to be a highly efficient reading experience. It is short, sparse and you should be able to read it in about an hour.

However, it is not about quick fixes. If you're looking for ways to short-cut the amount of time you spend planning lessons, then this book is not for you. Lean Lesson Planning draws on the best available evidence from educational research and cognitive science to provide a coherent set of mindsets and 'habits of planning' that will help you power up the learning experiences and outcomes in your classroom, in ways that make your life easier and more enjoyable. In short, it's about doing less, but better.

Lean Lesson Planning is the first instalment in the High Impact Teaching series.
