SEPTEMBER 2015

Ross Morrison McGill a.k.a. @TeacherToolkit, Twitter phenomenon and influential blogger, believes that taking that step to becoming a teacher is one of the best decisions you will ever make, but after 20 years of teaching, he knows that it is not an easy road. There will be ups and downs along the way; changing goalposts, moments of loneliness, overwhelming demands on your time, so many lessons to plan and children to discipline… all that and a personal life to live too! It is not going to be easy; you will need the right tools in your kit to succeed (and survive!)

This brand new book is a compendium of everything you need to know to survive and succeed in your first five years of teaching. Wherever you are on the journey – right at the start in your NQT year or grappling through your fourth winter term in the classroom, there is honest, practical advice for you. It covers all the ‘firsts’ you’ll need to achieve and the skills you’ll need to develop along the way at every new stage, going right up to working towards that first middle leader role. Not only does it include invaluable advice and ideas, it focuses on your wellbeing as a teacher and how you can equip yourself to be resilient when the going gets tough.

About the author @TeacherToolkit is the most followed teacher on Twitter in the UK. He started his now internationally renowned blog four years ago as a way to connect with his peers and share teaching ideas and experiences, to inspire conversation and develop his own practice. He has since established a ‘we are in this together’ ethos and community at a time when the teaching profession is becoming more challenging than ever.
