Craft of the Classroom (Heinemann school management) Customer Review: Read it!!
I’m so glad to see this book is still available. I read it decades ago and benefitted from it. I had been teacher-trained (!?!?!?) by those head-in-the-clouds bods who said “nobody can teach you how to teach”; meaning, they weren’t going to try, though they took the money; and left it to Michael Marland and a handful of others to keep us alive in those dangerous early years. Take it from me, you can learn a few tricks on how to run a happy class, from people who will teach you. Find them, and learn from them, starting with MM.
Customer Review: Distilled wisdom
18 years down the line I find myself still recommending this book. My copy is a slim, faded and well-thumbed first edition, but the advice is timeless. The author is an experienced teacher who is simply happy to pass on what he has learned from a lifetime developing his craft, and that is what teaching is - an apprenticeship in the company of many wiser colleagues.
