Description
An enigmatic book of lists and promises that sets out to teach you the stuff that you don't learn at teacher training college, through Teach First or on a PGCE. It's about the teacher's moral purpose and core business (engaging children) and the key mindsets to being a useful teacher, from Early Years and beyond. It's about the authentic elements of the creative teacher: being able to develop a repertoire of skills, attributes and behaviours, and knowing how and when to appropriately apply them. Today, children have become elements of data - this book acknowledges the bubble teachers must operate within, whilst equipping them with the tools and strategies to burst it.
