The success or failure of a teacher rests on one thing: the quality
of their communication. In the microscope of the modern secondary
classroom, everything we say and everything we do is analysed by
our teenage audience. 'Talking to Teenagers' is a practical
handbook that explores five essential communication strategies. It
provides busy teachers with the scripts they need to improve
learning, and form effective relationships with teenagers. The
complexity of that teenage audience and their brain development is
explored, followed by how we can master the art of non-verbal
communication. The book also deconstructs how teachers can
proactively teach positive behaviour, and script their responses to
challenging situations in the classroom. The acronym LEAP is then
used to ensure that discussion and dialogue in the classroom is
impactful: sharing strategies to improve listening, hone quality
explanations, analyse understanding, and structure effective
independent practise. Finally, it explores how we can drive
motivation and build habits in the teenagers we work with. If you
feel your communication in the classroom is often on autopilot,
this book will fuel you with the strategies, phrases and
understanding that will help you to be the best version of yourself
in the classroom.
Communication happens in a variety of ways, not just through
speech and language
Helping Children to be Skilful Communicators covers:
- being together
- finding a voice
- listening and responding
- making meaning.

'Skilful Means' is the key principle of Mahayana, one of the great
Buddhist traditions. First described in the Lotus Sutra, it
originates in myths of the Buddha's compassionate plans for raising
life from the ceaseless round of birth and death. His strategies or
interventions are 'skilful means' - morally wholesome tricks
devised for the purpose of enabling nirvana or enlightenment.
Michael Pye's clear and engaging introductory guide investigates
the meaning and context of skilful means in Mayahana Buddhist
teachings, whilst tracing its early origins in ancient Japanese and
Theravada thought. First published in 1978, and still the best
explanation of the concept, it illuminates a core working
philosophy essential for any complete understanding of Buddhism.
This book, The Skilful Physician, is a collection of guidelines for
maintaining one's health plus recipes for disease remedies,
perfumes and treated wines. It deals with the premise that
preservation of good health requires attention to proper diet and
life-style.
Pastoral theology is theology seen from the shepherding
perspective. Relating to every aspect of church life - from leading
congregations to counselling individuals - it calls for pastors
with a good grasp of Christian doctrine and a wide range of skills.
After defining pastoral theology the author examines its biblical
foundations. He then surveys the various ways in which it has been
understood in the history of the church. In his final section Dr
Tidball considers five major themes - belief, forgiveness,
suffering, unity and ministry - as examples of pastoral theology at
work in the church today.
