The Essential Guide to Lesson Planning
by Leila Walker - Pearson Education paperback - £12.99
Published:  10 July, 2008

This book is intended to help trainee and newly qualified teachers come to grips with the daily lesson planning required from them. It shows how the time spent planning good lessons can help to ensure that time in the classroom is effective, productive and enjoyable.

A key goal of this book is to show that planning lessons and behaviour management are not two separate entities - any good lesson plan will have built-in behaviour management strategies. If students are catered for, are allowed to achieve and have their good work reinforced, then even the most challenging of students can be fun to teach.
