Reviews

'A brilliant practical guide for anybody considering teaching as a career, for trainees and for NQTs. The book is peppered with real life stories that will help any new teacher who feels like they're going under. The lessons Tom shares have been learned the hard way and are all the more powerful for that.' Gail Robinson, TSL Education
'I'd recommend this book to everyone who is thinking about entering into the minefield of teaching and needs a friendly bit of guidance to help them through. This book is brutally honest and really shows teaching "in its underwear" with all the unsightly bits on show, but it also tenderly reassures and advises you through every step of your training years. An absolute necessity for anyone feeling like they are Not Quite a Teacher.' Jenifer Baldacchino, NQT
a fun read for anyone who would like to have a laugh or two over the problems of teaching students who would rather be doing anything but learning. -- Julie Hawks, University of North Carolina at Charlotte * Teaching Theology & Religion *
