This research-based book focuses on re-imagining how to improve pedagogical and environmental approaches to teaching and teacher education, across the early childhood to higher education sectors. It motivates educators, academics and researchers to stimulate thinking around the use of research to transform professional teaching and teacher education in imaginative ways. It showcases insights into the design and implementation of successful approaches to teaching improvement at the direct level of practice. This book provides a clear ‘how to’ approach that identifies the general principles by which teaching improvement can be planned, monitored and evaluated, as well as guidelines for contextualising these principles within specific educational levels and situations.
