In 1988 Berliner asked a bunch of expert teachers to teach a short lesson to an unfamiliar group of pupils.
Despite performing well, one teacher walked out, another ended up in tears, and all were unhappy they participated!

💡Lesson:
Expert teaching entails specific knowledge about the pupils being taught: what they know, what motivates them etc.
When you remove this, you inhibit superior performance.
And piss expert teachers right off.

One of the big questions this raises is the value of 'interview lessons'.
Schools may get a better sense of a teacher potential by watching a video of them interacting with their current pupils, rather than asking them to teach a group they don't know.
