Designed as an everyday companion for teachers in secondary education in England, there is much of relevance in this pocketbook for teachers in other parts of the UK and overseas. If you are interested in 'developing your teaching skills and becoming a more effective and reflective practitioner,' author Brin Best has written this with you in mind. Opening with a brief digest of how theories of teaching and learning have developed, you're quickly down to the nitty gritty: classroom rules, structuring lessons, teaching styles, questioning skills, differentiation, discipline, inclusion. As for target-setting, marking, assessing and homework, all feature under 'The Craft of the Classroom'. How to manage time, stress, relationships and meetings also receive Brin Best's attention and a chapter is devoted to progressing your career. Reference and information sections complete the picture.
