Motivating Your Secondary Class

Maurice Galton and his team have collected examples from various schools of what works in re-energizing demotivated pupils. This book presents practical advice and strategies for improving lower secondary school classrooms, ranging from reducing class size, to innovative induction programs emphasizing the development of core study skills, and developing effective procedures to train pupils to cooperate rather than confront each other during lessons.

Teachers Under Pressure

What is it really like to be a teacher in today′s demanding classrooms? The authors of this book spoke to teachers, parents and students in the UK, Asia, America and Australia and had some shocking responses to their questions. By looking at highly topical issues within teaching, such as teacher stress and teacher workload, they uncover an often bleak picture where individuals are frequently stretched to breaking point as they endeavour to ′make a difference′. Issues examined include: " the frustrations facing those trying to make inclusive education work in practice " the effects of constantly changing policies on the staff required to implement them " the loss of status the teaching profession has experienced " why so many are choosing to leave the job " what happens to those who stay and fight This fascinating read will be of interest to anyone involved in teaching, school leadership and educational policy.
