Working in post-compulsory education can sometimes feel like being "in at the deep end": teaching a highly diverse and sometimes challenging student group, trying to manage a rapidly changing and developing curriculum, a generally increasing workload and working with a level of bureaucracy that could defeat the faint-hearted-and that just takes care of Monday and Tuesday! The difference between sinking and swimming can be a small one...
This positive and practical "survival" guide will help teachers to effectively manage these varied demands by offering friendly, professional advice and support on:
* Meeting the initial challenges, working positively with students, supporting key skills and basic skills
* Accessing support, working with colleagues and managing conflict
* Handling challenging behavior, making positive use of ICT and teaching specialist subjects
* Managing inspections, developing as a leader and becoming a reflective professional
Lively and engaging, this book will help all new teachers overcome everyday problems and pressures to keep their "heads above water" and become efficient, skilled professionals in the post-compulsory workplace.

Review
"The style of writing is fluent and easy-to read. The well structured index at front allows the reader to read it from cover to cover or to dip-in and out, as part of the on-going journey. An extremely useful publication for all stakeholders involved in the dynamic world of PCE; regardless of whether they are new-comers or experienced teachers." - Escalate, 18 January 2011

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ThriftBooks-Atlanta, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
