Others have been updated with Jim's latest tried-and-tested techniques, which all shift the emphasis away from the teaching and onto the learning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Have you ever wondered what would happen in your classroom if you simply stopped teaching? Over the last few decades the demands of countless education initiatives, not to mention the pressures good teachers put on themselves, have seen so much teaching squeezed into our lessons, it must have squeezed out some of the learning. Maybe if we spent a little less time teaching and gave students a little more time to learn, things would be different. Maybe this would allow us more opportunities to build relationships with the class and develop that all-important rapport with the individuals who might just need us most. Maybe we could even reclaim our Sunday afternoons from planning and marking?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The Lazy Way can help you get more out of your students and at the same time help you to get your life back. More than just a series of tricks, the Lazy Way is something Jim Smith has put together over years of experience working with all sorts of learners (and teachers) who want their lessons to be different yet still be rewarded with academic success. The approach was born out of Jim's frustration with doing a job he loves but being slowly killed by it in the process. And, as all good psychologists know, if necessity is the mother of invention then frustration is the absent father, and being knackered the grown-up sibling who just won't leave home.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e If you want your students to learn more and you to work less, then \u003ci\u003eThe Lazy Teacher's Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e provides you with all the arguments and evidence you need. The new edition is packed full of even more easy-to-apply, highly effective strategies (which Ofsted have rated as 'outstanding') all with the seal of approval from real students in real classrooms. So, next time someone tells you to get a life, this book will make it possible.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Previously published as \u003ci\u003eThe Lazy Teacher's Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e, ISBN 9781845902896.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e 'The Lazy Teacher' is a registered trademark.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The Lazy Teacher's Handbook - first edition Winner of the 2012 Award for non-fiction bestselling English-language Book from Wales.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Lazy Teacher's Handbook - New Edition - \u003c\/i\u003e Honorable Mention 2017 Foreword INDIES Awards in the Education category.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Lazy Teacher's Handbook - New Edition\u003c\/i\u003e is a finalist in the 2018 Education Resources Awards in the Educational Book Award category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independent Thinking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781352687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 7.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Jim Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42325211218101,"sku":"9781781352687","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_16dd3385-af77-4a12-b504-5c26f0cb5a6c.jpg?v=1660017601","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-lazy-teachers-handbook-how-your-students-learn-more-when-you-teach-less-9781781352687","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
