Ultimate Teachers' Handbook

This is the definitive guide to surviving and succeeding in teaching. It covers all the things that trainees are not told at university, but desperately need to know once they find themselves teaching full-time! Hazel Bennett - who has herself combined a career in teaching with running a home, bringing up a family and post-graduate study - gives advice on issues as coping with a daunting amount of paperwork, an ever-increasing curriculum load, pressure to improve the school's position on the league tables, and a pupil population who are frequently more concerned about their rights than their education. A must-read for teachers everywhere.
