Well, many school boards find new teachers, both beginners and more experienced ones, difficult. Rather than discourage them I wish to give them a good start, so I give them a copy of ‘The\u00a0Talented Teacher’and wish them good luck.\u00a0The booklet\u00a0tells them clearly what it takes to become a great teacher, and that is what I wish for any teacher, starter or senior.

It has taught me much, and affirmed what I’ve learnt through experience, particularly in relation to the importance of appropriate connection with students. Practical, inspiring and easy to read, I would recommend it to anyone attempting to help others learn. Thank you for this!\u00a0Yumna Mayet, Public Health Lecturer \u00a0College of Cape Town, South Africa<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n This book is a good resource as it makes one reflect on your own practice. I found after reading a chapter on attitudes that I am more mindful in what I say and how I say it so as not to offend anyone. Our classes are so diverse so it’s good to have this awareness. I especially liked the analogy of ‘Teachers as a hotel manager’ in how to apply your skill as a teacher to welcome, treat and manage the classroom. There was a good focus on boundaries and discipline. This book is good to have and refer to from time to time – it will see you through the easy and difficult teaching moments we are all bound to encounter. It’s also reassuring that we are not unique in our classroom issues; someone on a more global scale is experiencing a similar situation.\u00a0Sharon Kelderman, ECD Lecturer College of Cape Town, South Africa<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Feedback from\u00a0the staff of College of Cape Town, South Africa:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n A selection from the comments on Workshop The Talented Teacher,\u00a0January 2014 VSBO-school Pierre Lauffer Cura\u00e7ao<\/span><\/cite><\/p>\n Remarks:<\/p>\n What ca be improved?:<\/p>\n This book is such a great inspiration to me.
