Focusing on the emotional environment of the classroom, the relationships between teachers and pupils, and teaching and learning outcomes, it will enable schools to provide a consistent approach to lesson observation where good practice can be celebrated and shared. If you are looking to make real impact within your school and bring about change for the better, this innovative approach is for you"-- Provided by publisher.
