Welcome to Tips for Teachers by Craig Barton

Over the last few years, I have been fortunate to observe thousands of maths lessons in schools across the UK and beyond. This website is my attempt to share what I have learned so that any teacher or department can take steps to improve their students’ outcomes.

Blog posts

I have written up all the things I learned from my school visits into a series of themed blog posts. These posts include images, audio recordings and research links. These posts are available for free, and always will be.

Books

I have written 16 books, each one focused on a single area of pedagogy. Each book in the Tips for Teachers guide to… series is crammed full of evidence-based, practical strategies you can try the very next time you step into a classroom. They are priced at £8 per book.

90-minute on-demand CPD workshops

These workshops are designed for teachers to work through together. For a fee of £99 (+VAT), you can share an entire workshop, or selected clips, with all staff at a CPD session or a departmental meeting, as many times as you like, for a year.

Face-to-face CPD

I have limited availability to speak at face-to-face events, including keynotes, workshops at conferences, full-day sessions with all staff, and in-depth sessions with mathematics departments.

Research

I have analysed some of my favourite research papers and broken them down to identify the key implications for teachers in the classroom.

Videos

I have recorded a series of videos featuring world-leading education experts, each focused on a specific, concrete strategy or idea. Feel free to use these videos as part of your department’s or school’s CPD offering.

Podcast

Since 2015, I have interviewed the world’s leading educational experts on my Mr Barton Maths podcast. Listen and learn on your drive to work, whilst walking the dog, or whenever you like.
