Routledge Primary School People: Getting to Know Colleagues

Starting a teaching career in a primary school involves building a wide range of professional relationships. This Routledge publication helps students and newly qualified teachers navigate these connections effectively. Beyond the classroom, you will interact with teachers, teaching assistants, and various support staff, including school secretaries and educational psychologists. This book provides a practical look at the people who make a school function. It also covers the importance of working with parents, who serve as both school helpers and major influences on children's lives outside the classroom. By understanding these roles, new educators can better prepare for the social and professional landscape of a primary school environment.
