Pay Attention Please - A Teacher's Memoir of Successful Strategies

Pay Attention Please - A Teacher's Memoir of Winning Strategies offers an entertaining insight into the tornado of chaos, language and behaviour that teachers encounter.

A teacher needs the skills of a psychologist and social worker and a driving ambition to make a difference in the lives of students.

Endorsement Quotation:

" Richard Routh provides us with a medley of teaching anecdotes in the succinct and often entertaining stories of his lived experience in a variety of schools, countries and educational systems. Richard draws upon decades of successful practice at the secondary and tertiary levels. His stories have the potential to make his readers smile, and cringe, sometimes at the same time, but most importantly, his writing is educative and delivers to his audience, scenarios and responses that beginning teachers may come across as they begin their own professional educational journey." Terry Hopkins Teacher and University Lecturer
