Ever wondered what would happen if you stopped teaching in your lessons? You might be surprised. If you want your students to learn more and you to work less, then this book provides you with all the arguments and evidence you need to become a lazy, but outstanding teacher. Gathered over 10 years in the classroom, this handbook of tried-and-tested techniques shifts the emphasis away from the teaching and onto the learning, and makes your life so much easier in the process. Fed up missing out on those sunny Sundays? Maybe your marking could be done by the local community instead? Sick of planning lessons? Get the students to plan them for you. (After all, personalised learning can't involve 30 lesson plans!). This powerful book is packed full of easy-to-apply and highly effective strategies (which Ofsted have rated as 'outstanding' ). What's more, they all have the seal of approval of real students in real classrooms. In fact, many of them have been thought up by the students themselves, but that's why Jim Smith is called the Lazy Teacher. So, next time someone says to you to get a life, this book will make it possible.

The Happy Teacher/11 Rs Every Teacher Should Know will inspire a classroom revolution, where: The boy who never smiled would start smiling And the girl who never wrote would start writing And the boy who never read would start reading And the boy who always cursed would stop cursing And the girl who always fought would stop fighting And the boy who talked too much would stop talking - too much And the girl who used to hide would stop hiding And the boy who used to lie would stop lying And the girl who hated words would start liking them (and loving you) And the girl who used to always say no would start saying yes And the boy who couldn't write a complete sentence would write complete sentences And the children who could write but refused would one day write a book And the boy who wasn't in your class would come to your class because of the *buzz *about your class And the boy who barely knew the alphabet would learn to read well enough to ace tests And the girl who was always angry would become mostly happy And the boy who was depressed would start (moon) walking on sunshine And the girl who was always mad would make peace with her world And the boy who didn't believe in himself would express faith in himself And the girl who was always feisty would show her vulnerable side (and thank you) And the boy who didn't like to read would love listening to himself - read And the girl who was always scared would no longer be afraid And the boy who was at the bottom academically would rise to the top And the girl who never moved would one day rise from her chair and dance (to the music only she could hear -- and all of her peers would clap for her) And all of these marvelous things with children would happen because you had the courage to say yes when everyone else was saying no, to express faith when everyone else had stopped believing, to think about what could be when everyone else was thinking about what had been, and because you have watched from afar the start of many revolutions and now you know you can't rest...until you start your own.

Written by Kamalagita Hughes, The Mindful Teacher's Handbook: How to step out of busyness and find peace is a practical guide to mindfulness that will empower teachers and school staff to take better care of their well-being and find calm in the day-to-day hustle and bustle of the school setting. When we're on an aeroplane, the on-board safety instructions tell us that in the event of an emergency we should put on our own oxygen mask first - and only then help those around us. The same is true for well-being: we need to look after ourselves in order to be a resource for others. This is especially the case in busy, high-pressure environments such as our classrooms and schools, where burnout is a real concern for teachers and leaders, who all too often relegate their own self-care to the bottom of the to-do list. The Mindful Teacher's Handbook is a practical and engaging resource to help everyone in schools bring mindfulness into their lives in a meaningful way. Mindfulness practice offers simple, straightforward strategies for finding peace and regaining perspective, and has a solid body of evidence that attests to its efficacy. In this book, Kamalagita Hughes provides a lively and engaging blend of top tips, research evidence, case studies, guided meditations and suggested exercises for all - both for those new to mindfulness and for those who want to refresh their practice. Providing a thorough, grounded understanding of mindfulness and its benefits for the school community, the book explores the links between well-being and education and sets out how improved staff and student well-being can cultivate a better teaching and learning environment for all. Kamalagita offers practical strategies that school staff can put into practice straight away - both for their own well-being and that of their pupils - including insightful case studies on how best to bring mindfulness to your school. Suitable for teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders.
