How do you listen effectively when you're already late for a meeting? How do you respond to a girl who's so angry that she's threatening to hit someone? Or to a boy who feels like giving up altogether? How do you listen, not only to students, but also to parents and to colleagues? Whatever your role in school, listening will be at the heart of what you do. Your school will be measured, in part, by the quality of its daily relationships and those relationships will depend on how confidently people are able to listen to each other. This book answers all the difficult questions about how to listen, what to say, confidentiality and more. Helping with particular issues such as bullying, relationship difficulties, depression and self-harm is also covered. With over 35 years' experience in a variety of school roles, Nick Luxmoore offers practical, realistic answers, advice and guidance. This book will be essential reading for teachers and non-teachers alike.
The School for Scandal
Автор: Ричард Бринсли Шеридан
Год издания:
Ричард Бринслей Шеридан – знаменитый английский драматург, оратор и политик. Его «Школа злословия» – одна из вершин английской сатирической литературы. Вся пьеса проникнута стремлением автора разоблачить ненавистные ему ханжество, корыстолюбие, лицемерие «высшего света». И для этого Шеридану не надо было выдумывать сложной сюжетной схемы, запутанных перипетий. Ему достаточно было представить на сцене светскую жизнь, мир интриг, аристократических козней, погубленных репутаций, расстроенных свадеб, сплетен и слухов, где нет «большего наслаждения», чем опорочить других. Комедия «Школа злословия» – единственная пьеса английского репертуара конца XVIII века, которая до сих пор ставится на английских сценах. Всех, изучающих английский язык и совершенствующих свои навыки в нем, приглашает в «Школу злословия» актриса Аниссой Наоуай. Аудиокнига на английском языке.
