60-second CPD: 239 ideas for busy teachers

by Hanna Beech, Ross Morrison McGill

Teaching is tough, yet its rewards are huge. Every teacher wants to carry on getting better and better at what they do, but when you have so much on your plate already and only so many hours in the day, how can you find time for professional development? That's where 60-Second CPD comes in.
This book is a compendium of 239 easily accessible ideas and theories for professional development, each digestible in roughly 60 seconds. It's a book that every teacher and leader, in every primary and secondary school, can return to again and again as the year moves on and their career progresses.

Hanna Beech and Ross Morrison McGill have distilled the million and one ideas out there into one practical, concise and inspiration-packed book designed to build knowledge, provide opportunities for deep thought and reflection, and facilitate the sharing of ideas among colleagues and teams.

Thought this book was especially helpful. Most of it is like a "greatest hits" of educational research. The stuff on teaching is all strong, as is the part on curriculum, and the behavior parts. I found the chapter on mental health for teachers especially interesting, and something I haven't read in as much depth before. I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I could have done without the entries on icebreakers and classroom wall art.

I am just starting my journey to become a primary school teacher and received this book for Xmas. It is full of so many good ideas for CPD and talking points to have with mentors alt etc. East to read I would definitely recommend to anyone within education.
