Latest book 'Back on Track.' "Ed Watson's 'Top Tips for New Teachers' is a corker. He quickly disposes of the kinds of activities which might have superficial appeal, but which are easy for pupils to complete and take up much of a teacher's time to prepare. The main culprits are 'showbiz' lessons, card sorts, tarsias, treasure hunts and extensive differentiated tasks. In their place, he articulates very clearly ways of working which are likely to have high impact as well as saving teachers' time. There are valuable insights too, on the most effective ways of using questions in lessons, in drawing on the wisdom of colleagues and on making sure that we use our time wisely. A great aide memoire for all in the profession, not just for new teachers! Jill Berry - Leadership Consultant. Author of 'Making the Leap.' "This concise and highly readable book collates a wide range of practical pointers for teachers at the beginning of their professional journey. From applications and interviews and negotiating your initial contract, through establishing yourself in the classroom and staffroom and beginning to master your craft, to thinking about future career steps, Ed Watson's guidance is firmly based in his own experience and wider reading. 'Top Tips for New Teachers' is concise, balanced and realistic. Training and beginning teachers can be swamped by well-intentioned but potentially overwhelming advice, but this book neatly summarises what these teachers need to know, and should find helpful and reassuring." Sam Strickland, Author of 'Education Exposed' 'Top Tips for New Teachers' is simply top notch. Irrespective of whether you are new to the profession or not this book is jam packed with hints, tips and ideas that you can run with immediately. It will give you endless food for thought and will assist you in dealing with an array of issues that often seem thorny and hard to resolve. A superb read.'
