How Do I Teach ... and keep my sanity?
Kathy Paterson
This timely book will show teachers how to create a learning environment that meets the needs of students, parents and teachers.
Presented as simple lists of practical and easy-to-use classroom-tested ideas, teachers will find instant solutions for specific challenges that they encounter every day as part of the ‘real’ classroom. Novel ways to make learning more fun for pupils are featured along with tips to help teachers keep up with their planning, marking and record-keeping.
This comprehensive book looks at all aspects of running effective classrooms:
- Promoting efficient classroom practices that range from seating plans to finding time for marking
- Communicating and finding time to meet the needs of all students, especially when some seem to demand so much more
- Grabbing the attention of students at the beginning of a lesson and using games to teach the same old stuff in a different more meaningful way
- Coping with and avoiding behaviour problems by getting students more involved through projects
- Making students more accountable, dependable and enthusiastic about their work
Easy for teachers to use, this essential resource includes photocopiable handouts to share with classes on topics as diverse as good work habits, homework and taking exams. Reproducible pages to involve parents in the classroom range from tutoring tips to a parent interest questionnaire.
