Tom Bennett Knihy

„Každý se může zlepšit. Téměř z každého může být dobrý učitel, pokud absolvuje náležitou průpravu. Musí mu však být poskytnuta.“ Tom Bennett (od roku 2015 poradce britské vlády pro oblast chování žáků) napsal knihu, jejíž postupy mohou aplikovat učitelé a učitelky z celého světa. Popisuje v ní bez příkras vše z vlastnípraxe, kdy si ho na začátku učitelské kariéry žáci předhazovali jako rituální oběť, až došel k prostému, ale zásadnímu závěru, že není chyba v něm, ale něco je systémově špatně: nikdo mu nevysvětlil, jak pracovat s chováním žáků ve třídě. A přitom je možné se tomuto ztracenému umění managementu chování naučit. Bennett čtenáře na téměř 400 stranách provede tím zásadním, co je možné se o behaviorálním managementu dozvědět. Nezaměřuje se jen na modelové příklady ze školní praxe – i když ty tvoří obzvlášť zábavnou (i děsivou) část textu – ale kniha vychází z odborných zdrojů. Jednotlivé kapitoly se zabývají například budováním kultury třídy, vytvářením rutin, které umožňují učitelům i žákům soustředit se lépe na výuku, celý oddíl je věnovaný poskytování zpětné vazby k chování žáků. Pomůže vám vybudovat základní stavební kameny každé efektivní třídy a školy.

‘Tom Bennett is the voice of the modern teacher.’ - Stephen Drew , Senior Vice-Principal, Passmores Academy, UK, featured on Channel 4’s Educating Essex Do the findings from educational science ever really improve the day-to-day practice of classroom teachers? Education is awash with theories about how pupils best learn and teachers best teach, most often propped up with the inevitable research that ‘proves’ the case in point. But what can teachers do to find the proof within the pudding, and how can this actually help them on wet Wednesday afternoon?.
