Primary school teachers are working harder than ever, and seemingly have less and less time to work with, but Mark Creasy believes it doesn't need to be like this. With rare experience in both primary and secondary phases and at leadership as well as classroom levels, Mark is ideally placed to comment on what works and what doesn't  and in this book he urges teachers to recognise that there is another way.    In Independent Thinking on Primary Teaching, Mark encourages teachers to stop and consider the things they do daily in the classroom and presents a series of prompts, nudges and suggestions to help them achieve the same (or even better) results by working smarter, not harder. In so doing he shares a wealth of practical and easily transferable tips for immediate use in the classroom, all designed to streamline teachers' schedules and lighten their workload while enlivening pupils' learning.    These are in no way doctrines, or silver bullets for success, and nothing that Mark advocates requires investment of either time or money; rather, these 'working smarter' tips are geared to win teachers their evenings and weekends back, something that many more teachers need than is healthy for the profession.    Independent Thinking on PrimaryTeaching is one of a number of books in the Independent Thinking On  series from the award-winning Independent Thinking Press.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49528550097169,"sku":"GOR012048300","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51865523192081,"sku":"GOR012027361","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53432170414353,"sku":"GOR014917629","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1781354006.jpg?v=1772790761"},{"product_id":"unhomework-book-mark-creasy-9781781351093","title":"Unhomework","description":"In a dynamic and ever changing education climate it is important to re-evaluate practice in schools on a regular basis in order to ensure that we are doing the right thing for our children. With questions being raised over the value of homework, Mark Creasy advises teachers and parents on how to get the most out of homework without letting it get in the way of their lives. The author provides suggestions for how teachers can make homework more effective, applicable and less pointless; by organising classroom learning to allow children to set their own homework and creating opportunities for learning out of everyday situations.  Based on over 10 years of real teaching practice in both primary and secondary schools, Unhomework is both entertaining and informative. It challenges the current status quo of traditionally set homework and provides an insight for parents and educators intohow homework can be done differently, for greater effect as an extension to classroom practice. Unhomework is based on the 5Rs and these are detailed for teachers to implement to secure Unhomework successfully.  With practical ideas for teachers across year groups and subjects to use, Unhomework is for teachers (Year 3-13) at all stages of the profession, senior managers in primary and secondary phases, independent and state sectors, parents and teacher trainers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49550734098705,"sku":"GOR006830693","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53348450304273,"sku":"GOR010764712","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1781351090.jpg?v=1772791236"},{"product_id":"simon-smith-schoolboy-spy-book-mark-creasy-9791256971749","title":"SIMON SMITH – SCHOOLBOY SPY","description":"Simon isn’t just an ordinary schoolboy – he’s an aspiring spy!
