Sue Cowley's Teaching Clinic: An Agony Aunt For Teachers

Uses the question-and-answer format to deal with frequently asked questions from teachers.

This unique book sees Sue Cowley in the role of agony aunt. It is written in the form of a 'clinic' for teachers who have problems or questions that they would like her to answer. Drawing on her considerable teaching experience at both primary and secondary level, Sue provides practical and realistic solutions to all kinds of educational problems.

Answers cover every aspect of teaching, ranging from everyday classroom queries like 'How do I get my kids to shut up and listen to me?' and 'How do I deal with the child who never produces any work?' to more serious concerns such as coping with classes who behave 'like a bunch of psychopaths' and turning off at the end of the day, 'I can't stop thinking about school. It keeps me awake at nights. What can I do?' This book should be essential reading for every teacher.
