The Art of Being a Brilliant NQT (The Art of Being Brilliant Series) - Softcover

I was delighted to review 'The Art of Being a Brilliant Teacher' and even more delighted that this has been extended to 'The Art of Being A Brilliant NQT'. They are the teachers who have to learn fast and this is a book that will really help them to do this --David Cameron, The Real David Cameron Ltd

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 under way! 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 more... A brilliant book for NQTs.
