Celebrating Great Teachers with John Tomsett, Mind the Gap, Ep.103 (S6,E1)

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner are joined by John Tomsett, former school leader and educational author, to talk about his latest two books, This Much I Know About Truly Great Primary/Secondary Teachers (and what we can learn from them). The episode is a celebration of teaching, which is messy, complex, and can't always be quantified. That being said, John has a list of nine principles of great teaching, and using those principles, as well as their combined years of experience, the three share stories of great teachers and teaching.

John Tomsett taught for 33 years in state schools and was a teaching headteacher for 18 years. Until August 2021 he led Huntington School in York, one of the first Research Schools in England. He writes a blog called "This Much I Know", and has written extensively about school leadership. He has published thirteen books including the 'Huh' series with Mary Myatt and 'Leadership 55' with Haringey Education Partnership.
