Product Description

From the Inside Flap
Chris Kyriacou not only knows how to communicate, but shows every evidence of understanding what classroom life is like.
Times Educational Supplement

One of the best general guides available for prospective teachers at both primary and secondary level.
Journal of Education for Teaching

The first edition of this enormously successful book examined the key skills required for successful classroom practice. Using his familiar and accessible style, Chris Kyriacou has now developed and expanded his work in this updated new edition.

Specifically, the book covers:
The nature and development of teaching skills
planning, preparing, presenting and managing lessons
classroom climate and discipline
assessing and evaluating pupils' and teacher's own performance
the DfEE's competences for newly qualified teachers
differentiation, streaming and setting
mentoring and professional development.

This book will be an invaluable aid for the student and newly qualified teacher alike, and an excellent resource for the more experienced teacher or teacher trainer.

Chris Kyriacou is Reader in Educational Psychology at the University of York.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must for every teacher!, 7 Jun 2001
By lfs2@cant.ac.uk (Canterbury) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Teaching Skills (Paperback)
Nicnamed 'The Bible' at my University, this book has a comprehensive index and contents page. It also has a wonderful ability to link in with whatever assignment on education that you are set. It is jargon free, with subtitles and bullet points that let you gather information at a glance. The down side is that it is perhaps more geared towards secondary teaching rather than primary, nevertheless it is one of the only books that I won't be selling when I graduate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential book for essential teaching skills, 29 Mar 2004
By L F Snowball (Amstelveen Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Teaching Skills (Paperback)
.... I have found this book invaluable, both for new and trainee teachers in clearly outlining essential aspects of classroom practice, and for experienced teachers as a reminder of those essential aspects in an engaging and refreshing way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very "Essential"
An excellent handbook to a GTP or PGCE year with invaluable information and work on theories.
Published 5 months ago by Bex M

4.0 out of 5 stars A good source
This has been useful over the past year (PGDE(P), however the style does require some initial understanding of education theory and perserverance.
Published on 20 Jun 2007 by hayheadsbird

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor - don't waste your money
This book is awful. I hardly found anything useful in it (it is also surprisingly thin). There are loads of better PGCE textbooks available.

3.0 out of 5 stars Essential Teaching Skills, Chris Kyriacou
I cannot deny this book contains some useful information for those about to teach in secondary school, but the style of writing makes it a crashingly dull read. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars superb

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for trainee teachers
