Handbook for Creative Teaching

A comprehensive work on every phase and aspect of school teaching. Written especially for the beginning and inexperienced teacher, the book addresses and discusses in a very readable style what school teaching is all about and how to do it. Preparing to teach, day-by-day classroom techniques, how to motivate students to apply themselves to learning, what to do with problem pupils and situations, how to teach the slow student, and how to grade papers, plan lessons, direct recess activities, divert problems before they arise, answer questions helpfully, ask questions that stimulate thinking, prepare schedules, work with the school board and parents, discipline constructively, and plan time efficiently are some of the subject discussed. An index assists the teacher in finding the answers to his specific needs and questions. This is more of a reference book than a read through book. It can help you with some knotty problems.
