In my day job, I travel the country talking to school teachers and leaders and the question I am asked more than any other is this: “What is an outstanding lesson?” My answer, rather disappointingly for my inquisitors, is that there is no “silver bullet”. Let me explain… I have taught and observed a lot of lessons over the years and I think I’m pretty good at recognising an outstanding one when I see it. I can wax lyrical for hours about all the outstanding teaching I have seen and about the “spark” that makes some lessons better than others. Having read the guidance Ofsted provides for its inspectors, I am also confident I know how Ofsted differentiates between an outstanding lesson and, say, a good one. And yet when I am asked that question – what is outstanding? Speaking at the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) last May, the chief inspector of schools Sir Michael Wilshaw was asked the same question. The Ofsted framework echoes this view.

Lots of lesson ideas and resources Each half term our library editors and guest editors rummage around their area of the site to unearth really useful and wonderful resources to share with you. We've gathered these together as a collection so you can do your own spot of targeted digging and delving. Hopefully you'll find just what you're looking for - or at least some inspiration and advice! Choose a theme from the links below. Speaking and listening KS3 | Richard Durant on the renaissance of talk A few years ago I postponed some research into group talk because I couldn't find any. One of the biggest challenges for group talk is getting and keeping all students involved. Another – and complementary – way of involving students en masse is through conscience alley, a technique fully explained in Three ghosts visit Macbeth [Macbeth: Drama approaches]. Group talk is often undermined by group members' perception that the teacher is over-steering their discussion and wants the group to make a particular discovery.
