This book will tell you how to start off on the right foot as a new teacher, and how to look after yourself as well as your classes. Chapters will help you to build up your confidence and awareness, develop positive relationships with your students, create supportive bonds with colleagues, and manage disruptive, distressed and defiant students calmly.

′In addition to the practical strategies provided and words of wisdom offered by the author, threaded throughout this excellent book there are opportunities for the new teacher to explore personal values, attributes, qualities and behaviour. The interactive exercises that encourage this reflection include case studies and reflection points and these make a wonderful addition to this second series′
- Colleen Cummings, Learning and Teaching Update
′There is far more to this book than the typical outpourings on behavioural management as the author, an educational psychologist, offers so much more. She offers advice about what it means to be a teacher and all the skills required to do this amongst fellow teaching professionals and within the school community, which includes pupils and parents. Perceptive, focused and easy to read – new teachers will rapidly want to turn the pages before the academic year starts and refer to it again and again!′ -
