Think Before You Teach

While there is a long line of educators telling you what to do as a teacher, there are far fewer asking you to think about why you teach. This is a very important question. Regardless of government policies or school initiatives, you remain the most important factor in the learning of your students. The students know it, and they are looking to you for a lead. You are the resource in the room; thinking about how to employ this resource is vital. In Think Before You Teach, Martin Illingworth supports you in maintaining the positivity you need in your classroom. Teaching is an intense job and you need to step back sometimes and think through why you are doing the things you are doing. This is a book for anybody thinking of entering the teaching profession, teacher trainers, newly qualified teachers and those currently teaching.
