  • The invisible nature of great teaching becomes apparent when we try and make some kind of judgement on what we see in the classroom
  • I think the problem actually goes much deeper than teachers demonstrating teaching for lesson observations and learning walks. I worry that it has permeated the culture and led to teachers focusing on the demonstration of learning too. A culture of doing.
  • fetishisation of visible signs of teaching and learning that infects our professional culture. The activity becomes the thing. When a teacher cries out “but you did this!” in the face of blank stares a few weeks later, we are seeing this problem played out. “Did” and “learnt” are two very different beasts

  • The desire to demonstrate we are teaching well distorts this good practice and leads to us spending time and energy making our work visible. Not only is this less efficient it may also be less effective.
  • The actual business of invisible teaching is unglamorous. No one is going to see those tiny decisions you make to teach well. They won’t know, or appreciate, the feedback you gave a pupil there and then in the moment. There is no external reward. No praise.
  • We put our energy into what is done rather than what is learnt
