Product reviews for What Else Can a Teacher Do?

Current evidence shows an increase in the  number of teachers, of all age groups, becoming disenchanted and disillusioned with teaching for a wide range of reasons. In addition, recruitment to teacher training courses is failing to meet target figures and difficulties in filling posts for headteachers at all levels are causing concern in both local authority and academy trust sectors.  .  In addressing these issues,  David Hodgson has produced an absorbing and supportive text to enable teachers who are “experiencing difficulties” to re-focus  their mindset” to move forward more successfully.  

A  key feature of the book is the section on “where you are now”, which guides the reader to re-focus their energies by self analysis, on the positives as well as the negatives of their current situation.   



The focus on the work of Paul Dolan on “how to be happier” is an excellent example of strategies promoting self analysis and  self support evident within the text. A major part of the text is focussed on practical guidance for teachers who have become disillusioned, dissatisfied and frustrated in their current role and the range of options which might be available.  The text enables the reader to explore,  with guidance, a vast range of options to use their personal skills and experience more effectively, to regain control of satisfaction from their working life. This book should be available within all staff rooms  to re-kindle “job enthusiasm and satisfaction” for all staff members
