The Teachers' Handbook

Beschrijving

How can you become a successful teacher? The Teachers' Handbook is an accessible reference work, based on the general knowledge that every beginning teacher should possess. It offers a host of practical tools and is an inspiration for current thesis topics. This publication provides a comprehensive bridge between theory and everyday classroom practice.

The Teachers' Handbook answers key questions for the student teacher, varying from 'How can I teach my students?' to 'How can I grow as a teacher?'. Cognitive psychology, the corresponding didactics and keeping order are described in Part A. Part B deals with group processes, including bullying, appropriate education and discourse at school. The Dutch educational system for HAVO/VWO, VMBO and MBO are addressed in Part C. Part D focuses on the personal and professional development of teachers. Part E looks at how teachers can shape their teaching for VMBO and MBO.

The Teachers' Handbook offers every teacher and student teacher in secondary education and vocational education a rich foundation on which to continue to grow as a teacher. This book is also useful for instructors in Associate Degree programmes.
