E-Books →Putting the Human Centre Stage

There is support for the knowledge and skills-based approaches that currently exist. However, in the first part of this book, Mark Almond covers the theoretical underpinnings of this book. Drawing on research, he critically argues that there needs to be more of a focus on being a teacher rather than the what or how, before discussing a practical emphasis on hidden skills which many teachers and trainers deem unteachable. He demonstrates that they are teachable, backing this assertion up again with theory and research.
In the second part of this book, the theory is put into practice. This section is full of exercises, activities and lesson ideas in a recipe format. These will help you to develop or improve teacher presence and classroom rapport, and build a positive classroom community. These activities can be done individually by teachers or used by teacher trainers in a classroom training situation.
