Being taught by a great teacher is one of the great privileges of life. The Teach Now! series opens up the secrets of great teachers and, step-by-step, helps trainee teachers to build the skills and confidence to become first-rate classroom practitioners. The series comprises a core text that explores what every teacher needs to know about essential issues such as learning, pedagogy, assessment and behaviour management, and subject specific books that guide the reader through the key components and challenges in teaching individual subjects.
Written by expert practitioners, the books in this series combine an underpinning philosophy of teaching and learning alongside ready-to-use activities, strategies and techniques to ensure success in the classroom.
Teach Now! The Essentials of Teaching provides the fundamental knowledge for becoming a great teacher. Combining a grounded, modern rationale for learning and teaching with highly practical training approaches it covers everything you need to know from preparing for your teaching practice to getting your first job.
Harnessing a range of simple, but powerful techniques, the book shows you how you can translate the Teachers’ Standards into your own classroom practice and provide the evidence that you have met them. It also demystifies what the best teachers know and do instinctively to create students who want to learn and get a buzz from developing new skills. The book is structured in clear sections which are then divided into short, easy-to-absorb units offering clear, straightforward advice on all aspects of teaching.
With talking points to encourage reflection and a wide range of examples to illustrate practice, Teach Now! The Essentials of Teaching provides expert guidance as you start your exciting and rewarding career as an outstanding teacher.
