Book 2

Written by the leading national educational consultant, this is an essential guide to good teaching which focuses on practical activities to improve learning. Based on new approaches to differentiation, this book looks at ways to raise achievement, deepen understanding, promote self-esteem and improve motivation.

This classic, best-selling text by Philip Waterhouse has been set in the current context by Chris Dickinson. In "Classroom Management", the authors show how Induction Standards, Ofsted requirements and the findings of the Hay McBer report into School Effectiveness can be met or implemented by carefully thought-out strategies for the management and organization of the classroom. Covering topics such as: Whole-class presentation, dialogue and interactive teaching, Teacher-led small group work, Classroom layout, Interpersonal relationships in the classroom, and collaborative teamwork, this book is an invaluable resource for teachers concerned about classroom effectiveness for raising standards of performance and who need help to find ways of integrating Key Skills and Thinking Skills into an already overcrowded curriculum.
