| Summary |
This book is designed to help the new teacher establish and maintain positive relationships with all students as well as looking at the professional needs of the new teachers themselves. It deals with issues that are of primary concern to new teachers and that have a direct impact on their level of confidence and awareness in the job. Included is advice on: forming positive relationships with students; ways to effectively respond to disruptive, distressed and defiant students; developing supportive relationships with colleagues; maintaining emotional resources; the do's and don'ts of behaviour management. Throughout the book a practical approach is taken to tackling problems and suggestions are made for ways forward, but the focus is on maintaining positive relationships with classes in order to get the best out of them.
