The study, commissioned and funded by CfBT (now the Education Development Trust), included case studies of a purposive sample of 17 primary and secondary teachers in England who were nominated by their head teachers as exemplary practitioners whose practice could be viewed as inspirational for their colleagues and pupils.

Additionally, evidence from this study suggests that inspiring and effective practice are complementary; effective practices may facilitate inspiring teaching, though inspiring practice is linked to additional features beyond those associated with effective teaching. These findings have both theoretical and practical significance. In addition to increasing understanding of the concept of ‘inspiring’ teaching, the results have implications for school and teacher leadership, professional practice and developing professional learning communities.
