'Reading this book may change your attitude to your students, your colleagues and most of all, to yourself. It is written accessibly and has a pleasingly irreverent tone, but a warning: it will challenge you to think differently!' - Phil Beadle, Columnist, Education Guardian
This is a really useful and easy to read guide. The section on healthy mind is particularly relevant in the current climate and one that I will be recommending my students read. Overall in a time when concerns over resilience and suitability are raised this is an excellent book to guide you through the 'wobble' moments.
This book is fantastic and will really help all teachers to further their teaching methods, but it is not something that i will encourage my students to read, just my colleagues
This book is a fantastic practical handbook for teachers, especially those new to the profession
Loved this book, liked the way it was written, nice presentation. Good activities and nice bite sized learning points.
Readable, appealing and informative. Excellent tool for my own development and will be encouraging others to read it too.

This book provides a basic introducation to the importance of understanding psychological perspectives for intending educators. It is easily accessible and has some very useful tips regarding how to engage professionally as a practitioner.
An excellent book, written in a logical way and full of great hints and tips. I will ensure our college library obtains a few copies and I have added it to our reading list.
An easy read flow. Continue to find it a valuable resource.
Engaging and lively writing style which gets to the heart of students' preoccupations in the early days of both training and teaching.
It deals with qualified teachers development, which will be useful for students who are about to take up their NQT post within school.
a practical book focusing on the psychological themes relevant to teaching as well as exploring the psysiological issues influencing learning and teaching
How to be a Successful Teacher will be useful to students to help them understand the pressures of teaching. This text will reassure them that their anxieties are common. They can then use the practical strategies offered here to help them cope successfully
I especially liked the early emphasis on thepsychological aspects of teaching - higly relevant for reflection within DLTA module
the book informed lectures how to be an inclusive teacher, whilst keeping the learners on track at all times. other lectures have gone ahead and purchased this book for their own reference
well written text - certainly will enhance many student's understanding of the subject and of improving their classroom practice
This book has some minor uses for this course - only in that it is aimed at preparation of general teachers and this course is about preparation of mentors in practice. It will be useful as supplemental materials for teaching.
This is the kind of book that ought to be a graduation present for all teachers finishing teacher training and for all teachers who are finding the going tough. It is packed with useful, practical ideas to help teachers keep sane in busy times i.e. all of them! Although stongly flavoured with self evaluation and reflection, it's so much better than the usual run-of-the-mill self-help psycho-babble available. Counsellors in education would also find this book valuable.
