Being a “good teacher” is a difficult goal to achieve, being largely dependent on a huge variety of skills outside of the main curriculum. Teaching Skills For Dummies focuses on these ‘soft’ skills of teaching, from maintaining discipline to creating engaging lesson plans and monitoring performance. This essential guide promises to help teachers gain the respect of their pupils, manage potential confrontations and ultimately get the best out of both their careers and their students.

Teaching Skills For Dummies includes information on:

• Developing Your Teaching Style
• Teaching a Class
• Managing a Class
• Dealing with Different Kinds of People
• Succeeding Beyond the Classroom

“Don’t let the title fool you; this is an essential guide and resource for any aspiring teacher. Sue Cowley uses her experience and insight to provide a comprehensive and informative resource, packed with excellent advice and brilliant suggestions for making both teaching and learning effective. A must for any teacher’s bookshelf!”
- Peter Hadfield, Principal lecturer in Education, University of Bedfordshire
