This classic, best selling text by Philip Waterhouse has been set in the current context by Chris Dickinson and re-issued by Network Educational Press.

Covering topics such as: Whole-class presentation, dialogue and interactive teaching, Teacher-led small group work, Classroom layout, Interpersonal relationships in the classroom, Collaborative teamwork.
