At last, a compendium of sound, practical, tried-and-tested advice for teachers. Teaching in schools - at primary or secondary level - can be hugely rewarding, but is undeniably ever more demanding. To reap the real rewards of their work while keeping up with changes in the curriculum, teachers are faced with a whole range of practical issues. These range from honing their skills relating to curriculum planning, supporting learning and effective assessment, through to getting to grips with the latest technology and working with difficult pupils or classes. At a time when most teachers seem to have to cope with unprecedented amounts of red tape, this compendium aims to support them in what they really want to do: help pupils to learn successfully. Compiled from experience, observation and research, 2000 Tips for Teachers is essential reading for all teachers, providing access to wide-ranging and practical advice and ideas, presented here in a unique, easy-to-use format. This book will save you time and help you to further your personal and professional development, and brings together guidance on subjects including: effective teaching processes; designing and implementing assessment; supporting pupils' learning; using ICT, both within and without the curriculum; supporting pupils with special needs; pastoral care; using resources effectively; dealing with difficult and unacceptable behaviour; developing your own career and professional life. Written for the busy teacher whose time for reading the literature on teaching and learning is limited, these accessible, practical suggestions will be useful for trainee, newly qualified and experienced teachers alike, in primary and secondary schools as well as in further education.
