Mark Burns Mark brings a wealth of experience from his twelve years of teaching. His keen appreciation about what motivates people to learn and engage lies at the core of his training. By observing more than a thousand lessons in both primary and secondary schools over the last 5 years, he has gained a keen understanding of the key ingredients required to transform learning in the classroom so that it is active, high in challenge, collaborative and student-led. His work in helping to develop teaching and learning has helped individual teachers, as well as schools to ‘level up’ as judged by Ofsted.
