The Lazy Teacher Guide — Illustrated Edition: Minimum Effort, Maximum Survival

The Lazy Teacher Guide — Illustrated Edition

is not just a book; it’s a spiritual awakening for every educator who has ever stared at a stack of unmarked exercise books and thought, “What if I just… didn’t?”

Behind the jokes is a simple idea: effective teaching does not require teachers to treat every task as a test of endurance. Sometimes good enough really is good enough.

Contains all the illustrations you love from the online version. A great gift for any teacher.

Description

Finally—a professional development book brave enough to admit what the rest of us whisper into our chipped staffroom mugs.

Teaching is a noble profession. It is also an excellent way to discover just how many things can become urgent before 9.00 a.m.

The Lazy Teacher Guide — Illustrated Edition is a light-hearted survival manual for teachers who care about doing a good job but have no particular desire to be exhausted while doing it.

Across 18 illustrated chapters, Ian Taylor takes a dry and affectionate look at the everyday realities of school life: classroom management, lesson planning, marking, displays, break duty, emails, parents, staff meetings, assemblies, school trips, data, inspection, professional development, job interviews, Christmas and the glorious approach of the end of term.
