The Supply Teacher's Handbook

When I made the switch from working permanently in one secondary school to supply teaching in many secondary schools I found I had to change the way I taught to be effective. When I analysed my teaching methods, I found that I was using a selection of classroom and conflict management techniques. The case studies in this book highlight those techniques and demonstrate how they can be used to wipe-out disruption in a classroom.
