Noted the possibility of kids suffering abuse as an afterthought, rather than an important thing to look out for. She has written numerous bestselling education and parenting books, which have been translated and published around the world. She now works internationally as a trainer and presenter, as well as volunteering in education settings in the UK to ensure that her advice and practice remains relevant to teaching today. What I've done though is adapt and develop the ideas so that they apply to more practitioners, in more diverse situations: to those working in early years and further education, as well as primary and secondary schools.

Sue is the best selling author of twenty books for teachers and parents, including Getting the Buggers to Behave, Teaching Skills for Dummies and How to Survive your First Year in Teaching. And for those of you working in the most challenging schools or colleges, I've included a new section on coping in really difficult circumstances. If your two-year-olds are ignoring you, your Year 11s are distracted, or your tutor group is not-so-quietly chaotic then this is the book for you! After qualifying as a primary school teacher, she taught in a number of different secondary schools in London and Bristol.

It’s quite a long list –‘ be definite, be aware, be calm and consistent, give them structure, be positive, be interested, be flexible, be persistent, engage them‘– and you may start to panic, but the detail and case studies that follow show how an understanding of these ground rules might help us in our first few weeks in the classroom (I’m addressing fellow trainees here). The definition of critical thinking is well elaborated and thought provoking, including things like proposing, connecting, solving, and supporting. There are some great practical hints and tricks in this book and I'm looking forward to trying some of them out in my own classroom in the future (if we ever get back there).We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring there? The section on critical thinking includes logical and creative approaches without trying to categorize them rigidly. In this brand new edition, Sue takes a detailed look at positive behaviour management, considers recent advances in understanding self-regulation, and offers specific advice on tackling behavioural challenges in the post-Covid classroom. Covering a range of issues spanning behaviour management, lesson structure, resource preparation and narratives in the classroom, the book is a blueprint for becoming a particular kind of teacher - one who has high expectations, a concern for pupil well-being, and a knack for ushering learners into more effective learning.
