If you are interested in 'developing your teaching skills and becoming a more effective and reflective practitioner,' Brin Best has written this with you in mind.

Opening with a brief digest of how theories of teaching and learning have developed, you're quickly down to the nitty gritty: classroom rules, structuring lessons, teaching styles, questioning skills, differentiation, discipline, inclusion.

How to manage time, stress, relationships and meetings also receive Brin Best's attention and a chapter is devoted to career progression.
