Beskrivning
Foreword by Ian Gilbert.Primary school teachers are working harder than ever, and seemingly have less and less time to work with, but Mark Creasy believes it doesn't need to be like this. With rare experience in both primary and secondary phases and at leadership as well as classroom levels, Mark is ideally placed to comment on what works and what doesn't and in this book he urges teachers to recognise that there is another way.In Independent Thinking on Primary Teaching, Mark encourages teachers to stop and consider the things they do daily in the classroom and presents a series of prompts, nudges and suggestions to help them achieve the same (or even better) results by working smarter, not harder. In so doing he shares a wealth of practical and easily transferable tips for immediate use in the classroom, all designed to streamline teachers' schedules and lighten their workload while enlivening pupils' learning.These are in no way doctrines, or silver bullets for success, and nothing that Mark advocates requires investment of either time or money; rather, these 'working smarter' tips are geared to win teachers their evenings and weekends back, something that many more teachers need than is healthy for the profession.Independent Thinking on PrimaryTeaching is one of a number of books in the Independent Thinking On series from the award-winning Independent Thinking Press.

Recensioner i media

Independent Thinking on Primary Teaching is undoubtably essential reading for all early career teachers, but is equally useful for more experienced teachers who wish to reflect on their habits and discover new ways of working smarter, not harder. The book is a really accessible read which is jam-packed with tips, advice and practical ideas in terms of establishing effective systems and routines, building strong relationships and focusing on what really matters in the classroom (and outside). Always keeping the child at the centre, Mark encourages readers to reflect and question why we do things the way we do - and reveals alternatives and suggests small changes to help us see that 'there is always another way'.Each chapter focuses on a key area of primary practice and offers clear, structured and practical advice to support teachers to reflect and make considered changes in order to not only have a greater impact on outcomes for children, but also on their own workload and well-being. Mark's warmth and humour runs throughout the book, and the strategies and ideas suggested come from a real understanding of the pressures and rewards of teaching in the primary classroom. I would highly recommend this book to primary teachers everywhere.Helen Martin
