This useful reference book offers authoritative yet accessible answers to common questions posed by new and trainee teachers as they face the practical everyday questions that arise from entering the classroom for the first time. Organized into sections the book covers issues such as:
job hunting
induction
managing workload
relationship building with pupils and colleagues
dealing with parents
other personal yet work-related issues.
The issues covered are ones that have been highlighted through Elizabeth Holmes' work as an online agony aunt for teachers and her column 'Ask Elizabeth' on Eteach.com. Based on real questions with common themes this will be a welcome resource for any NQT.
