The Ultimate Teaching Manual by Gererd Dixie
This highly-visual book offers primary and secondary teachers practical guidance to help them through their training and first few years in teaching. Embarking on a teaching career is a bit like setting off on an exciting car journey. You've prepared as well as you could, but you have no way of knowing what hazards and pitfalls lie ahead. And when you're on the road on your own, you're going to need more than just a full tank of petrol. Ideal for visual learners, this full-colour handbook uses Highway Code signs to help you navigate life in the classroom. It's easy to dip in and out of, and contains lots of strategies to help establish professionalism and good practice in the classroom. You'll want to have this book with you at all times, gleaning invaluable advice on introducing pace and purpose into lessons without leaving any students behind, preparing resources and lesson plans (and sticking to them) and working collaboratively with your classroom assistant. With checklists, stress busting tips and useful sources of support and advice, this book is the essential guide for all trainee and beginning teachers.
'The Ultimate Teaching Manual is exactly thatAimed at beginning teachers, it provides a comprehensive exploration of developing practice. There are multiple tips and real life scenarios to illustrate what the new trainee will face which help to contextualise the individual teacher's role in the wider school life and world of education. The Ultimate Teaching Manual poses questions to stimulate the reflective process. Indeed, this book is not just for beginning teachers, but essential reading for the more experienced to get us to question how we are doing things and how to take the right route to improve our results.'
