Synopsis

Phil Ridden loves education. But he is worried about teachers. So many seem to have lost their sense of purpose - they feel put upon and powerless; they feel alone in a difficult job.

Phil is aware that there are many things over which teachers have little control and which are difficult to change, but he also knows that teachers can change how they view the challenges they face, and how they deal with them.

For Those Who Teach draws on the author’s wealth of experience and on his passion for teaching. Much more than homilies or sage words of advice, this book seems to actively engage teachers and help shape their attitudes. In a succinct, direct and positive manner, all aspects of teaching are addressed. From context to curriculum, from collaboration to coping, For Those Who Teach will inspire teachers to regain their balance, their focus, their motivation and sense of worth

This is a unique book, which ought to be read by every teacher – at every level, in every subject, in every school/
