Customer Reviews

Excellent!
As a Primary PGCE student I found this book extremely useful and informative, with sections on how to motivate children, how to manage relationships with your pupils and how to deal with conflict and troublesome behaviour. The book offers useful advice and guidance to help you take charge of a class for the first time, as well as strategies to boost your confidence and reduce stress.
If you only buy one book during your training, this should be it!
