‘Teachers come quite far down the pecking order for pupils, trailing badly in a list that includes mobile phones, DVDs, computer games and pizza… You may well not beep, flicker or teach to catchy music but you point the way to their future.’ GLENISE BORTHWICK
Whether you’re already in command of a classroom, or are just starting out as a student teacher, these top tips will help you cope with pupils, parents and the everlasting pile of marking.
Alternately practical, wise and funny, Top Tips for Teachers will guide you through those career defining moments: parents evenings, negotiating the staffroom and helping you preserve your dignity when all you want to do is hurl chalk at the board.
Teaching can be a rewarding vocation allowing you to get to know your pupils and guide them into their future. This book will keep you organised, calm and motivated until the summer holidays.
With witty illustrations by Bob Dewar, one of the UK’s top satirical artists.
