Principal Teachers Spring Newsletter March 2007
Life coach Lynette Allen's time-saving tips will make you feel
more in control at home and happier and more organised at work.
Synopsis
Lynette Allen has done it again! Using real scenarios and real issues, she has written the perfect self-help book for teachers - giving ideas, tips and strategies for the classroom, as well as the woman herself. Teaching, marking, preparing...the pressure for teachers is outstanding, the demand on their time and energy is just unimaginable...oh, if only marking and nits were the only plague of their lives! Split into three sections, this book looks at: The Teacher - the variety of stressful/difficult scenarios teachers now face; The Woman - outside of the classroom; and The Skills - coaching skills for teachers.
Customer Reviews
Do only women teach????
I bought this for my overworked, overstressed partner, who re-trained at the age of 41 and is now in his 2nd year of teaching. The paperwork piles up and he is doing about a 70 hour week. I thought this book might be helpful......
Well, 1/3 was completely irrelevant, talking about 'the woman outside of the classroom'. Male teachers aren't that rare nowadays so why alienate such a huge chunk of your readership? Though this third is mentioned in the write-up, I assumed it would be general life skills, arranging the work brought home, but no! Not relevant at all, I'm afraid.
I'm sure it would be helpful to a female teacher. Now can we have one for the male teachers?
A book for the publisher or the reader?
Not sure what kind of teaching Lynette Allen does, was or is-but I found this so patronising! Sad too, that her first book which was fun and light and practical seems to have just been re-hashed twice in this format ( but not to make easy money for the publisher of course!) I predict that the next book will be for nurses and entitled ' Behind with the bedpans and living in the day room.'
Come on Lynette-be bold, move on and develop!
