 The Quality School Teacher: A Companion Volume to The Quality School List Price: Sale Price: $3.95 You save: $9.04 (70%) Eligible for free shipping!Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 business days See Reviews For This Product DescriptionThis book is the follow-up to its immediate predecessor, The Quality School. Based on the work of W. Edwards Deming and on Dr. Glasser's own choice theory, it is written for teachers who are trying to abandon the old system of boss-managing, which is effective for less than half of all students. William Glasser, M.D., explains that only through lead-management can teachers create classrooms in which all students not only do competent work but begin to do quality work. These classrooms are the core of a quality school. The book begins by explaining that to persuade students to do quality schoolwork, teachers must first establish warm, totally noncoercive relationships with their students; teach only useful material, which means stressing skills rather than asking students to memorize information; and move from teacher evaluation to student self-evaluation. There are no generalities in this book: It provides the specifics that classroom teachers seek as they begin the move to quality schools. |
 Quality Circle Time in the Secondary School: A Handbook of Good Practice List Price: Sale Price: $34.99 You save: $7.51 (18%) Eligible for free shipping!Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 business days See Reviews For This Product DescriptionJenny Mosley's quality circle time model involves establishing an ongoing, timetabled process of circle-meetings for adults and children. As a basis for teaching relationship skills, enhancing self-esteem and building a positive behaviour management and anti-bullying policy, circle time should not only increase confidence and "emotional intelligence" in pupils, but should also contribute towards a positive whole-school ethos. This work provides a rationale, framework and whole-school model for quality circle time specifically for secondary schools and further education colleges. The authors offer over 100 activities and practical strategies to help build teachers' confidence and circle time skills. The book aims to enable teachers to sustain this approach within their PSE syllabus, tutorial time, subject teaching, or as part of their work with pupils with special educational needs. |
