Do you find the workload of teaching unmanageable and feel you can never switch off and enjoy your free time? Do you have classes whose behaviour you can't get under control, no matter how strict you are? At assessment time, are you aghast that your students have forgotten everything you taught them? When someone says "the Sunday scaries", do you know exactly what they mean? Then keep reading.

Sadly, almost half of all teachers leave the profession within their first five years, overwhelmingly for the reasons above. Fresh out of training college and armed with pedagogical theory, many are left without a single working strategy, forced to improvise and learn the painful way.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Done well, teaching is rewarding, enriching, and fun. Done badly, it's a soul destroyer. The good news is that the best have already cracked the code of effective, happy teaching.

In this step-by-step guide, Malcolm Finney condenses 14 years of teaching and hundreds of techniques into the simplest, most effective ones, quickly getting any new (or old) teacher up to the task.

In this book, you will discover how to:

• Manage your workload and enjoy your free time.
• Turn your classroom into a positive learning environment.
• Teach your students in a way that makes knowledge stick.

There is no magic to it. Every successful teacher has learned these things one way or another. Some, like Malcolm, learned the hard way. Others listened and skipped the pain. Learn from his mistakes and successes, so you don't have to. Once you have nailed the basics, you will be free to develop your practice from an effective happy place.
