Continuum Practical Teaching Guides
1 total work
Training courses - both pre-service and in-service - tend to concentrate, for obvious reasons, on such matters as subject teaching, lesson preparation and assessment. But teachers working in schools find they have to deal with much else besides - liaising with support staff, working with colleagues and members of the community, doing duties, substituting for absent colleagues, adapting their teaching to particular contexts, and so on. In this constructive and practical book, Michael Marland goes beyond concerns of subject-teaching to show what else is required to become a rounded professional. In the process he shows, inspiringly, how what are often taken as problems can, by the resourceful teacher, be turned into opportunities.
