Paul Kirschner – författare

Building on their bestselling book How Learning Happens, Paul A. Kirschner and Carl Hendrick are joined by Jim Heal to explore how teaching happens. The book seeks to closely examine what makes for effective teaching in the classroom and how research on expert teaching can be used in practice. Introducing 30 seminal works from the field of education psychology research, the learning sciences, and teaching effectiveness studies, each chapter takes an important work and illustrates clearly and concisely what the research means and how it can be used in daily practice. Divided into six sections the book covers: • Teacher Effectiveness, Development, and Growth• Curriculum Development / Instructional Design • Teaching Techniques• Pedagogical Content Knowledge• In the Classroom • AssessmentThe book ends with a final chapter on "What’s Missing?" in how teachers learn to teach. Written by three leading experts in the field with illustrations by Oliver Cavigioli, How Teaching Happens provides a clear roadmap for classroom teachers, school leaders, and teacher trainers/trainees on what effective teaching looks like in practice.

Becoming an Expert Teacher equips educators with the attitudes, skills, and practices they need to reach their full potential and profoundly impact students’ lives. A wealth of research has confirmed the powerful influence high-quality teaching has on student learning and achievement. But what does expert teaching actually look like, how do we begin to define and measure it let alone develop it? This informative and inspirational book distills evidence-informed principles of effective instruction into clear, actionable insights while motivating teachers to commit to the science and craft of expertise. Drawing on evidence from cognitive science, teacher-effectiveness research, and the study of expert performance, the authors show how great teaching is developed—not simply through experience alone, but through purposeful improvement over time.Teachers tend to grow in their practice along three main routes: classroom experience, professional development, and deliberate practice. Experience and professional learning matter, but do not reliably lead to sustained expertise. Over time, growth can slow as routines stabilise. Expert teachers continue to improve through a different path. They engage in deliberate practice: intentional work on specific instructional decisions, refined through feedback and evidence of student learning.Rather than settle for basic competencies and checklists of techniques, readers will gain a deeper understanding of what expert teachers do differently, how they think about teaching and learning, and what they need to do to become expert teachers.
