The Art of Being a Brilliant NQT

Everything a NQT always wanted to know about starting their teaching career but never dared to ask! This book will take the NQT through a journey which starts with interviews, leads them through the first visit before taking up the job and then into the first hectic weeks and months. Light in touch but rich in content, it can be read around the pool during the holidays before the start of term or kept by the bedside or in a desk drawer for an emergency flick through once teaching gets underway! It expands on the stuff that teacher training touches on, but importantly provides a refreshing look at the nitty-gritty stuff that most training doesn't! Includes:

getting a job

dealing with workload

discipline

preparing eye-catching lessons

dealing with parents

pastoral care

being a form tutor

dealing with colleagues

dealing with boys

getting involved in school life

taking trips

marking

assemblies

career development and much moreA brilliant book for NQTs.
