Michael Chiles and David Goodwin team up to present a comprehensive guide for all new teachers as they begin their journey, summarising a range of essential techniques. This book will be a key resource for all practitioners training to teach across subjects and phases. Michael and David provide clear guidance on key practical pedagogy techniques including establishing routines, building relationships and difficult conversations, as well as supporting teachers in preparing for their first interview. Each technique, supported by research-based evidence, will be explained and illustrated expertly to become a guide that will support practitioners entering the profession to unlock the complexity of the classroom.
