'The Ultimate Teaching Manual is exactly that. Aimed at beginning teachers, it provides a comprehensive exploration of developing practice. There are multiple tips and real life scenarios to illustrate what the new trainee will face which help to contextualise the individual teacher's role in the wider school life and world of education. The Ultimate Teaching Manual poses questions to stimulate the reflective process. Indeed, this book is not just for beginning teachers, but essential reading for the more experienced to get us to question how we are doing things and how to take the right route to improve our results.' Kerensa Carrick, Secondary English teacher, Farlingaye High School, Woodbridge, UK.

'The highway code of teaching' - what a great idea! This book provides an intuitive guide to the everyday challenges of being a teacher. I will be recommending it to all my colleagues. A fantastic companion for your 'teaching journey'. Pearl Gibson, Suffolk and Norfolk PGCE Secondary SCITT Programme Leader, UK

Gererd Dixie's handbook is written for new teachers and its content is well catered to its intended audience. The book covers all the essentials- from legal requirements to key pedagogy- and also provides useful advice. More importantly it outlines an ethos that puts the child first in every decision... It would make an excellent primer for anyone preparing to start teacher training. Meanwhile, it would be the graduate of only a superlative training course who could learn nothing new from this comprehensive manual.
