Title overview

Concise, simple, yet motivating and inspiring, Haigh’s book hones in on the essential ‘big’ ideas behind the craft of teaching, condensing them into manageable sections which can be put into practice in the classroom from Day One. The book deals with Planning, Behaviour and Class Management, Teaching and Learning, and Assessment in four distinct parts, each of these being presented with a brief explanation and simple steps, rules and advice for putting them into practice.
