"This book draws from the real-life experiences and perceptions of secondary school teachers, and documents their ideas on how they define their job, the difficulties they face in the classroom and the support they need. Different approaches to teacher support are considered and the book includes an in depth case study of a school that tried to implement some of these approaches." "Drawing on her own experience and the experiences of others, Diana Fox Wilson recommends that all teachers are supported by a classroom environment that fosters insight and understanding between pupils and teachers, and urges a culture of change that recognises teachers as a crucial influence on young people's lives." "Supporting Teachers Supporting Pupils is packed with helpful and practical advice for all teachers. It will be a reassuring read for any teacher finding themselves feeling stranded in the classroom."--BOOK JACKET.
