Guerrilla Teaching is a revolution. Not a flag-waving, drum-beating revolution, but an underground revolution, a classroom revolution. It''s not about changing policy or influencing government; it''s about doing what you know to be right, regardless of what you''re told.

It''s sound advice for people on the ground: people in real classrooms, working with real children, trying to make a real difference. Guerrilla Teaching by Jonathan Lear is packed with ideas to refresh teaching practice combining direct teaching with creative child-led learning and forge cross-curricular links to create engaging, motivating and fun learning experiences.

Ultimately, Guerrilla Teaching is about making a difference. It''s a book Jonathan Lear never meant to write, but it was just too important not to.
