Editorial Reviews

Review

`As one would expect from Bill Rogers, given his experience as a teacher, consultant , speaker and author, this book is highly readable, with many interesting and useful anecdotes to illustrate the points he makes' - Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties

---

'Effective Supply Teaching, a new title from bestselling author Bill Rogers, addresses the issues important to supply teachers and identifies the skills necessary for handling the demands they face. It tackles the challenges of dealing with new classes, managing challenging student behaviour, working with new groups of students and colleagues, making a fresh start with difficult classes and receiving the professional status deserving of the role. Numerous ideas for schools to effectively support supply teachers, and case studies of the author's work with supply teachers in the United Kingdom and Australia are also included' - Educationlist.co.uk

`Supply teaching is an essential job, yet as Bill Rogers points out supply teachers are unlikely to receive professional support and development. His book sets out to fill the gap. The book is written in an accessible language using believable classroom incidents to illustrate teaching skills. As a resource for the nervous teacher it will certainly be valuable' - John Lee, University of the West of England Bristol, Journal of In-Service Education

---

`Characteristically, Bill Roger's guide is rooted in practical techniques for behaviour management.... Rogers is the master of reassurance, and convincingly reminds us how important is the language of the classroom. His book is also essential reading for senior staff in schools, where much could be done to make the supply teacher's role harmonize with a whole-school approach to homework, behaviour management and school routines' - Times Education Supplement

`Attempting to make supply teachers teach with assertion, confidence and leadership, Effective Supply Teaching tackles the challenges of dealing with new classes, managing challenging student behaviour, working with new groups of students and colleagues, making a fresh start with difficult classes, and receiving a professional status equal to that of full-time teachers…. Most teachers want to "make a difference" and supply teachers are no different. Bill Rogers shows you how' - Jamie Carter, Wales in Action

Supply teacher (Somerton Park, South Australia Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Effective Supply Teaching: Behaviour Management, Classroom Discipline and Colleague Support (Paperback)

I would highly recommend this book to anyone involved in supply teaching(Or relief teaching,as it is called where I live.In other places it's known as 'emergency teaching'.)

Bill Rogers has an excellent understanding of the issues involved in being a temporary teacher.This book details them and provides extremely practical advice.

Bill has written quite a few books which focus on managing student behaviour.In my view his writing on the subject is unmatched,because of the effectiveness of the strategies he outlines.

I would confidently say that this short book would be of benefit to anyone involved in temporary teaching.
