5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book by an excellent authority on teaching., 3 Nov 2004
Sue Cowley is an excellent author on teaching and classroom control, and this book is an impressively comprehensive guide on all aspects of teaching, including but not limited to planning, teaching, assessment, finding your first job, career progression and ICT. Cowley includes the transcripts of extensive interviews with all different types of people working in education, from student teachers to managers and representatives from teaching unions, which makes it realistic and very practical.

The book is split into clearly defined sections, comprising questions and answers from Cowley's own experience, interviews and bullet pointed lists which make it easier to dip into. There are detailed case studies of planning in both primary and secondary schools, containing actual examples of the planning used by teachers, examples letters of application and blank planning sheets for you to adapt. Finally, a directory of contacts and websites for all subjects, teaching resources and supply agencies make it the most complete guide I have come across for those starting in teaching or those already involved in education.

Some of the material is not new, the sections on behaviour management are the same as can be found in Cowley's Getting the Buggers to Behave and her website, but this is much much more than just a behaviour manual. After the first read it becomes an excellent guide to keep on the shelf and dip into when the need for specific advice arises, and the insights offered by experienced professionals surely cannot be found elsewhere and would take years for a new teacher to discover for themselves

5.0 out of 5 stars Fab for those unsure of whether to go into teaching, 17 Jul 2005
By Loopy Lou "lyndz_ro" (Merseyside, England) - See all my reviews
i got this book yesterday and can honestly not put it down! i havent started any training and find its great - it goes into all the details of the training and even applying for the course - everything leading up to the actual result of being a teacher, plus some great insight into the aftermath too. I also found the case studies and questions she asked teachers and trainees extremely useful. So glad i got this, dont let it put u off that its not specialized into primary or secondary (which i nearly was) as it goes into each anyway and is just an easy and informative read. thanks so much! 5/5!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource for Overseas Trained Teachers, 28 Aug 2003
By A Customer
I am an American citizen and have 14 years' teaching experience in the US. I got a job teaching high school English in the UK last November, and it was very difficult for me at times because the system here is quite a bit different, and there are roles (such as form tutor, head of year, etc) that do not exist in the US. This book carefully explains all aspects of what you can expect in an average UK school and gives tips on how to handle the various roles you may be assigned. For a native who grew up attending UK schools and therefore learned about them by osmosis, this may be a simplistic no-brainer, but if you are a foreign-schooled person who will be teaching in England, I urge you to get this book. If I had had a copy of it last year, it would have made life much easier, but unfortunately for me, it was just published recently! :)

The book contains information about teaching as a career, teacher training, teaching practice, job hunting, anatomy of a school, lesson prep, behaviour management, extracurricular responsibilities, pay, and things like pensions and unions. It really is a good resource for basic, general information, and NQTs and OTTs particularly should invest in a copy.
