Paul Ginnis, The Teacher's Toolkit

Every page of the Teacher's Toolkit makes teaching all abilities of student more fun for me.... and them too!

Much as I'd love to find fault, cos I hate it when someone shows me something that makes me go "Oh yes, how simple", I can't....

Oh, wait! Maybe the price of it. But as I have read every page and made use of all the info, even then I am being uber-picky.

I bought a copy of The Teacher's Toolkit off Paul Ginnis at South Devon College when he did a presentation there. I think it's a well put together book with clear explanations that changed the way I teach.

Very practical. Excellent, easy to implement teaching strategies. Easy to read. This Teachers Toolkit book is an ideal handbook for student teachers starting out, or experienced teachers looking to spruce up their methods!

If you buy only one book to help your teaching then make it The Teacher's Toolkit: Raise Classroom Achievement with Activities for Every Learner. Paul Ginnis has brought together between the covers of this book the majority of current understanding on learning and added to this a huge number of practical ways to use this in everyday teaching.An absolute must for your bookshelf, although it won't spend much time on it.

Paul Ginnis, The Teacher's Toolkit: Raise Classroom Achievement with Activities for Every Learner is probably the most useful book I've read since I became a teacher. It's full of excellent ideas that work well. Students have responded extremely well to activitites such as Market Place, Calling Cards and Beat the Teacher. The suggested activities to establish discipline work very well and are great fun. In short I strongly recommend that all those who are planning to go into teaching and/or are already doing it should read the book and then use the ideas in the classroom. Teachers and students will benefit from a buzzing, creative, interesting, innovative, inquisitive and respectful classroom enviornment! If you haven't got a copy yet - then get it now!
