Biography

David Fawcett has been a teacher for over ten years in English secondary schools. He is also a speaker, trainer and organiser of multiple teaching conferences in the UK. His goal is to make teachers more aware of what might work in the classroom by bridging the gap between educational research and everyday practice.

If you’re looking to choose one book from the plethora of those currently being plugged in EduTwitter circles then, for its pure integrity, honesty, authenticity, wisdom and accessible style, you won’t go far wrong with this one." Rachel Rossiter, Schools Week
