Description of  The Lazy Teacher's Handbook: How Your Students Learn More When You Teach Less (Independent Thinking Series)

Ever wonder what would happen if you stopped teaching your lessons? You might be surprised. If you want your students to learn more and you to work less, then this book provides you with all the arguments and evidence you need to become a lazy, but outstanding teacher. Gathered from over 10 years of experience in the classroom, this handbook of tried-and-tested techniques shifts the emphasis away from teaching and onto learning, and makes your life so much easier in the process. Sick of planning lessons? Get the students to plan them for you. (After all, personalized learning can't involve 30 lesson plans!). This powerful little book is packed full of easy-to-apply and highly effective strategies. What's more, they all have the seal of approval by real students in real classrooms. In fact, many of them have been created by the students themselves, but that s why Jim Smith is called the Lazy Teacher. So, next time someone says to you to 'get a life,' this book will make it possible.
