teacher is one of the best decisions you will ever make, but after more
than two decades in the classroom, he knows that it is not an easy
journey! Packed with countless anecdotes, from disastrous observations
to marking in the broom cupboard, TE@CHER TOOLKIT is a compendium of
teaching strategies and advice, which aims to motivate, comfort, amuse
and above all reduce the workload of a new teacher. As anyone who has
followed him on Twitter knows, Ross is not afraid to share the highs and
lows of his own successes and failures. He strives to share great
teaching practice, to save you time and to ensure you are the best
teacher you can be, whatever the new policy or framework. His
