Ideas include: activities for the start and end of your lessons (Monday-morning-mantra); strategies for outstanding lesson planning (The 5 minute lesson plan), tips for assessing your students (Covert press-ganging!) and managing their behaviour (Smiley faces!). With a fresh, new, accessible design, this dip in, dip out, guide is a must read for all secondary teachers everywhere.« less
