  • Payment & Delivery

As our world continues to change rapidly, and often chaotically, there is an ever-greater need for more and more exceptional teachers to help positively shape the lives of children and adolescents.

At the same time, it is a challenging time to be a teacher. We have more children arriving at school with developmental delays, increased pressure from standardised testing, a crowded curriculum, high rates of family instability, and less social cohesion. This book from popular Australian parenting author, educator and resilience specialist Maggie Dent is a concise guide for today’s teachers to help them become even more effective, competent and exceptional.

Dare to Be an Exceptional Teacher investigates the six keys to exceptional teaching, 10 secrets to creating a successful classroom culture, communication tips, and helpful information about the brain and how to help it work best.

Based on her own experience as a high school teacher, family and youth counsellor, and now as a parenting and resilience educator, Maggie offers loads of practical tips and strategies for a positive, respectful classroom climate. She inspires teachers to embrace the profession with passion and to remember that exceptional educators with enthusiasm, competence and humour can form meaningful relationships that quite frankly change lives for the better.
