{"product_id":"9781441161192","title":"Not Quite a Teacher: Target Practice for Beginning Teachers","description":"'I will translate every acronym and portmanteau the panjandrums of  education feel we can't live without. I will tell you which mug to buy,  and where your biggest worries will come from.' Tom Bennett, the Behaviour Guru \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere  are many, many teacher training books that claim to offer practical  advice; some of them are even useful. There are also humorous books  aimed at teachers claiming to offer a zany, sideways look at our madcap  world; some of them even contain a joke. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book, although  light in tone, has a serious intent: to reassure trainee and beginning  teachers that are parachuted into difficult schools without anything  like the right level of preparation. Tom Bennett walks you through the  training and initial teaching practice, offering practical advice and  wisdom from the more experienced vantage point of hindsight. This  double-narrator style allows you to identify with the situation, learn  from the experience and then critically reflect on your own teaching  journey. But most importantly, this is a teacher training guide  disguised as something actually readable.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140164042992,"sku":"9781441161192","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441161192_p0.jpg?v=1763798142","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441161192","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
