4.0 out of 5 stars Lending Confidence to New Teachers, 18 Jul 2003
I have yet to read a teaching book that so thoroughly fills me with the sense that 'yes I can do this'.

This book was recommended to me by a friend and I'm glad I have it for the start of my first teaching year. Staring Teaching is good, solid manual for that first year and a sedative for those first year jitters. There are sections on every aspect of teaching, from behaviour to paperwork to stress. The behaviour section in particular offers good solid advice (perfect the teacher stare).

Sue writes clearly and effectively, from many years experience. The more I read this book the more I feel confident about teaching and feel ready for that first day.

A great start to teaching, even though it is particularly slanted towards secondary.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book A*, 1 April 2006
As a Head of Department in a secondary school I love this book and recommend it to every student I have in school. I still use it myself as it tells you how to do things short and simple. For the experienced practitioner it is a good reminder on how we should be doing things. It has survival tactics for each term of the year, planning, behaviour management, teaching and learning, pastoral care, climbing the paper mountain, marking, exams, reports, networking and who to avoid in the staff room, how to deal with parents, meetings, extra curricular activities, getting through induction and CPD. There is an excellent chapter at the end on moving on to another school and how to make job applications. I cannot say enough how much I personally love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Survival of the fittest....., 24 Feb 2007
By L. Mitchell "NQT" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What can I say?....
I got this book because I wanted a quick and easy reference guide that would help me basically survive my NQT Year. I bought quite a few books as I hadn't had any recommended to me from my course. Well, I can tell you this book was by far the best - so good in fact that I took all the other books back. I found that this book was a really easy, enjoyable book to read.

I felt completely bombarded by all the information that us NQTs had to take on board but this book really put everything into context, in order of importance and really is to the point with some really great hints and tips, from the layout of your classroom, to how to make good impressions on your first day, to marking and how to deal with parents...really is a mini teaching encyclopedia.

I found this book so helpful that I bought her other books 'Getting the Buggers to Behave' and 'The Teaching Clinic'. Sue Cowley really is a great help to any teacher in the classroom whether that be Primary Ed or Secondary Ed. If you buy any books as a teacher I would buy her's. The thing that makes her books SO invaluable is that she is teacher herself so is drawing from life experience, she's not talking as a person who has never set foot in a classroom, which is refreshing!

It is not a book that you read once, you can read it over and over or just dip in and out, either way I feel that she is an asset to the educational profession and her writing shows this very well.

Trust me you won't be disappointed!!! :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tips
I really liked this book when I was doing my GTP 3 years ago. It has REAL tips, unlike many books. I found it so good I'd like to translate it in French.
