The Slightly Awesome Teacher: Using Edu-Research to Get Brilliant Results: Edu-research meets common sense

The Slightly Awesome Teacher: Using Edu-Research to Get Brilliant Results: Edu-research meets common sense

by Dominic Salles (Author)

Synopsis

Most books on teaching ask teachers to be inspirational, to operate at 100 miles an hour with creativity oozing out of every pore. Dominic Salles says that's unsustainable. But you can get brilliant results using some simple practices taken from the myriad of educational research on classroom practices. It isn't a guide to all the extra stuff you should do to become cool and awesome. It is a book that will get you to forget about teaching and think about learning: another way of saying, it will help you to stop stressing about what you do, and get the students to work harder and smarter at what they do. Dominic Salles believes that every teacher can be slightly awesome. And here he shows you how.
