Teaching in the UK can be the most exciting, rewarding and fulfilling journey of your educational career. It can also present you with the toughest, most frustrating scenarios you will ever encounter. Whether you chose the United Kingdom for easy access the European continent, or to extend your experiences in teaching to further your personal and professional growth, your core focus in the classroom needs to be the delivery of quality teaching to as many students as possible.

With 15 years experience, or 15 months experience under your belt, at times you may very well experience the following :

• Classrooms can be a battlezone
• You may feel powerless in your lessons
• You may find the only way you can get attention is to yell
• You may feel it’s difficult to connect easily with other staff
• Parent Teacher interviews might just freak you out
• You might feel expectations are unrealistic

Six Bridges addresses the relationships between the teacher and six core components of the education system to make life easier as a supply or permanent teacher in the British school system. Six Bridges looks at :

• Subject knowledge
• Your students
• Other teachers
• Parents
• School structures
• Community attitudes

Providing over 40 tools for teachers, Six Bridges can help build strong relationships in the educational environment. With stories from the chalkface, you will discover how other teachers navigate common issues with both positive and negative effects. Real teaching, real classrooms and real results.

Six Bridges is designed to make classes more interesting to your students, and challenge them on several fronts. It will challenge students to act reasonably, to listen, to contribute, to help others and to put in their best because they want to, not because they feel threatened by authority. It will challenge you to do exactly the same.
