These include teachers and teaching assistants, support staff of various kinds from the visiting educational psychologist to the essential school secretary and parents, both as helpers in the school and as the major influences on their children''s lives outside school.\u003cbr\u003e This book is designed to give students and newly qualified teachers a taste of what they can expect and to help them to get the most out of these relationships both for themselves and for their children. Throughout, it draws upon the experiences of new teachers, often in their own words, but it also uses the voices of other `primary school people'' to show students the view from the other side. Throughout, the text is supported by points for discussion, questionnaires and check lists to help new teachers to define and analyse their own situation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of contributors \u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003ePart I New encounters \u003cbr\u003e1 Getting to know you \u003cbr\u003eSection I: Adults \u003cbr\u003eSection II: Children \u003cbr\u003e2 Help is at hand \u003cbr\u003eSection I: Views of newly qualified teachers \u003cbr\u003eSection II: A Headteacher's perspective \u003cbr\u003eSection III: Mentor to the rescue \u003cbr\u003eAppendix 1: Resources \u003cbr\u003eAppendix 2: A mentor-NQT agreement \u003cbr\u003eAppendix 3: Lunch-time supervisors \u003cbr\u003ePart II Other teachers as colleagues \u003cbr\u003e3 The role of a post holder \u003cbr\u003eSection I: An overview \u003cbr\u003eSection II: In the hot seat \u003cbr\u003eAppendix 1: How important are they? \u003cbr\u003eAppendix 2: Maths, a number of roles \u003cbr\u003e4 Special needs \u003cbr\u003eSection I: The teacher \u003cbr\u003eSection II: The educational psychologist \u003cbr\u003eAppendix 1: Establishing a profile \u003cbr\u003eAppendix 2: Making a statement \u003cbr\u003eAppendix 3: Identification and assessment of special needs \u003cbr\u003e5 The work of a home-school liaison teacher \u003cbr\u003ePart III Other adults as colleagues \u003cbr\u003e6 A classroom assistant \u003cbr\u003eAppendix 1: Guidelines for working with a classroom assistant \u003cbr\u003eAppendix 2: Job description: classroom assistant \u003cbr\u003e7 A school secretary \u003cbr\u003eAppendix 1: Marking the register \u003cbr\u003eAppendix 2: Educational visits \u003cbr\u003e8 Good health to a school nurse \u003cbr\u003eAppendix 1: Some responsibilities \u003cbr\u003e9 Meet a governor \u003cbr\u003eAppendix 1: Job description for a newly qualified teacher \u003cbr\u003eAppendix 2: Job description for a Headteacher \u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402070171991,"sku":"9780415113960","price":46.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780415113960.jpg?v=1730479333","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/primary-school-people-9780415113960","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
