New to Teaching: Lesson Management

There’s no doubt about it: educating young hearts and minds is both a joy and a privilege. A career in teaching allows you to combine inspiration, creativity and purpose, to positively impact the lives of children and young people every single day.

However, it’s also true to say that classroom life comes with its own unique set of challenges, especially in the first few years of your career. This eBook series for new teachers is designed to support you with various aspects of classroom practice, with a focus on behaviour.

In Part 1, we take a look at lesson management and explore the following key areas:

• • Chapter 1: Starting a Lesson Successfully

• • Chapter 2: Finishing a Lesson Successfully

• • Chapter 3: Managing Transition Points

• • Chapter 4: Lateness to Lessons

This eBook is designed to help you think about behaviour support as you embark on your teaching career, equipping you with practical strategies to build solid relationships and better understand behaviour.

At the end of each chapter, you’ll find questions and tasks to prompt self-reflection and further develop your practice.
