Biography
Mark Harris is a practising secondary school teacher; he is a Specialist Leader in Education in the Birmingham region. He designs and delivers professional development for schools in this area and is also a guest lecturer in the School of Education at the University of Birmingham, UK.
"Harris from experience is able to pack a whole lot of tricks, routines, templates, self-assessments, lesson plans, flowcharts, summary tables and much more into a mere 150 pages [...] Most teachers would find themselves captivated and excited as they find practical tips they can’t wait to employ in their classrooms [...] I believe that the ‘reader’ will quickly become a ‘user’ if they have a desire to lift their teaching performance. Whether the ‘user’ is a new graduate, or an experienced teacher choosing not to become stale, this book needs to be in their ‘toolbox’." - Peter Kilgour, TEACH Journal of Christian Education
