Dr Charles Watson
With over 30 years experience at all levels of Primary Education he writes with purpose, directness and a much needed sense of humour.Charles has spent his career exclusively in Primary Schools varying from small village schools to very large inner city establishments with multi level staff organisation. His writing reflects the situations he has encountered and the solutions found including do’s and don’ts based on the harsh realities of success and failure!“Teaching is a multi skilled and multi layered career – it is most definitely NOT based on the delivery of material to classes full of enraptured children (if only that was the case!) – successful teachers like successful sportsmen and women and successful business leaders make the job look easy. But look closer and you will see the hard work and preparation and practice that has got them to this point.”All teachers; just like all children, are individuals – Charles is here to help you develop your own style and approach and point you in the direction you want to go.
