Building on their bestselling book How Learning Happens, Paul A. Kirschner and Carl Hendrick are joined by Jim Heal to explore how teaching happens. The book seeks to closely examine what makes for effective teaching in the classroom and how research on expert teaching can be used in practice.
Introducing 30 seminal works from the field of education psychology research, the learning sciences, and teaching effectiveness studies, each chapter takes an important work and illustrates clearly and concisely what the research means and how it can be used in daily practice. Divided into six sections the book covers:
• Teacher Effectiveness, Development, and Growth
• Curriculum Development / Instructional Design
• Teaching Techniques
• Pedagogical Content Knowledge
• In the Classroom
• Assessment
The book ends with a final chapter on “What’s Missing?” in how teachers learn to teach.
Written by three leading experts in the field with illustrations by Oliver Cavigioli, How Teaching Happens provides a clear roadmap for classroom teachers, school leaders, and teacher trainers/trainees on what effective teaching looks like in practice.

Review quote:
“Evidence-informed education does not sit still; it is a discussion constantly taking place. Findings are never fixed; they are renewed and invigorated by subsequent exploration. This book is a vital part of the revolution happening in classrooms around the world and marks a new frontier in its evolution.”
Tom Bennett OBE, Founder of researchED
“This is a terrific collection of some of thought-provoking and actionable articles about classroom teaching. The selections are sure to inform and challenge readers, and certainly will help them understand teaching better. It is also not farfetched to imagine that critical thinking about these articles will lead to better teaching.”
