Year One

Written by Michael Chiles and David Goodwin, this handbook is aimed at people beginning a teaching career. It gathers a broad set of classroom methods in one place, giving trainees and newly qualified staff a grounding whatever their subject or school stage.

The authors take readers through practical teaching approaches, beginning with how to set up classroom routines and how to build positive working relationships with pupils. They also cover how to handle difficult conversations and offer support for preparing for a first teaching interview. Each method is linked to research evidence and demonstrated with examples, with the aim of helping new entrants make sense of the demands of the classroom.
