Engaging, thought-provoking and industry-defining are just some of the words used to describe James Nottingham and his stellar contribution to the world of education. As a best-selling author and famed creator of the Learning Pit, a work that has been referenced over 200 million times, he has played a significant role in strengthening learning for students around the world. His latest book, TEACH Brilliantly – upon which this webinar is based – brings together the best advice from his 30+ years working in education as a teaching assistant, leader, consultant and award-winning author-teacher.
Equity and Inclusion - Leadership and Management - Technology
James was a pupil who fell through the gap, leaving school with poor grades and two expulsions to his name. He has since been on a mission to understand how better to provide for all students. Along the way, he has worked closely with professors Carol Dweck (Growth Mindset) and John Hattie (Visible Learning); been a teaching assistant in a school for deaf children; taught across the 3-19 age range and held a range of school and district leadership positions.
Today, he teaches, leads demonstration lessons, gives keynotes, and works longer-term with schools to identify the small adjustments that can be made to significantly improve learning. His twelfth book, Teach Brilliantly, covers topics including efficacy, engagement, questioning, feedback, high expectations and equity. More information about James can be found at LearningPit.org.
