About this title.

It's not just newly qualified and beginning teachers who will find this an invaluable classroom companion. Bruce Potts defines the role of the primary teacher and considers what makes an 'inspirational teacher'. He covers a range of everyday issues including classroom organisation, effective planning, behaviour management, assessment and feedback, questioning and, of course, 'delivering great lessons'. His 23 ideas for creating an emotionally supportive learning environment are inspiring, imaginative and easily implemented, while sections on professional development, work-life balance, managing relationships, time and paperwork are full of sound, practical advice.
