About this title

Synopsis

With clear guidance and advice from the viewpoint of a seasoned teacher and trainer, Getting on Better with Teenagers explains how building a better rapport with your class can support students' academic, social and personal development, as well as improving behaviour issues. This practical guide contains end-of-chapter summaries and suggestion boxes, so you can try out the techniques straight away. Being a successful form tutor requires you to be a key point of contact for those students in need of adult help and advice. Forming relationships based on trust and mutual respect is imperative, so there is a chapter dedicated to making these work. There is also a chapter on improving your relationships with the more challenging students in your classes. Whether you are a student doing your first placement or a practitioner with several years experience under your belt, this book provides tried-and-tested ideas and techniques designed to cultivate better relationships with all of your pupils with a view to improving learning.
