Overview

"Nothing strikes such fear into the heart of the over-worked, undervalued teacher as the prospect of inspection. Perhaps it is because we feel it often involves being measured against and inserted into a de-humanizing four-point scale. Few of us glow with pride when we are awarded the dubious title of Satisfactory; even more frustrating sometimes can be arriving second at the finishing line with a ""didn't-quite-make-it"" Good. So how do we ensure that the much coveted ""Outstanding"" box gets ticked? And why do an elite few keep it such a privileged fellowship? ""Pimp Your Lesson"" reveals, in detail, the secrets to impressing the pants off your observer, whether it be your Head of Department, Headteacher, Mentor or - worse still - Ofsted!"
