Teaching is a delightfully rewarding, wonderfully enlightening and diverse career. Yet, at present, teacher recruitment and retention are in crisis, with some of the most at risk of leaving the profession being those in their early years of teaching. Making it as a Teacher offers a variety of tips, anecdotes, real-life examples and practical advice to help new teachers survive and thrive through the first 5 years of teaching, from the first-hand experiences of a teacher and middle leader.

Divided into thematic sections, Making It, Surviving and Thriving, the book explores the issues and challenges teachers may face, including:

Lesson planning, marking and feedback

Behaviour and classroom management

Work-life balance

Progression, CPD and networking

With the voices of teaching professionals woven throughout, this is essential reading for new teachers, those undertaking initial teacher training, QT mentors and other teaching staff that support new teachers in the early stages of their career.

Reviews for Making it as a Teacher: How to Survive and Thrive in the First Five Years

Making it as a Teacher doesn't deny or shy away from the problems we are facing in the profession; it acknowledges them and agrees that it is a challenge to avoid being part of that one-in-three statistic of teachers leaving the profession in the first five years. But, through its human approach, helpful structure and real-life case studies, it offers a positive message: you can do it. It's a cathartic read - therapy in paperback form. - Haili Hughes, TES
