So, you're starting your NQT or RQT year soon? This part of your career is one of the most exciting, but certainly one of the most terrifying - I've been there all too recently.

Never fear! Help is at hand!

This small, easy-to-read survival guide is designed to give you a wide range of tricks and tips to help you start your teaching career in style. Written by a current RQT, the trials and tribulations of an primary-based NQT are detailed with helpful and useful tips that you can apply practically to your teaching. It contains tips that relate to the small things which no one ever really teaches a trainee, such as how to organise a classroom effectively and how to communicate with parents and carers in a positive way.

Overall, this guide is designed to be a quick, fun read which will ease any concerns you may have, give you tips for how to excel from the very start, and if nothing else, help you to realise how you already have all of the traits of a top teacher.

I hope you enjoy it!
