The (Un)official Teacher's Manual Omar Akbar

Teaching is a demanding profession. Many of the difficulties however, are not in the classroom...

In The (Un)official Teacher's Manual, Omar Akbar offers direct, humorous and accessible advice on how to deal with the daily issues faced by a teacher- none of which involve teaching!

Includes guidance on: lesson observations, emails, promotions, avoiding meaningless extra work, meetings, parents, maintaining a work-life balance, dealing with workplace bullying, and much more.

While Omar pulls no punches on the reality of working in a school, a positive streak is maintained throughout.

A must read for any teacher or potential teacher.
