Roger Terry - NLP for Teachers: How to Be a Highly Effective Teacher

NLP for Teachers is just the book I have been waiting for. It takes the complex terminology and techniques of Neuro Linguistic Programming and translates them into practical strategies for teachers in the classroom. It is packed full of excellent advice and useful activities that work on a profound level to alter behaviour and attitudes. If you follow the advice in this book and work through each section practising the techniques and using the tools, you will improve your teaching and leadership skills. If you also embrace the principles of NLP that relate to developing a high level of self awareness, rapport and flexibility you will also change your life and relationships for the better. A must for your educational bookshelf.

Richard Churches and Roger Terry have written an impressively thorough and packed guide to NLP for teachers. It is based on the authors extensive experience in the field, and the choice of contents is directly influenced by what teachers themselves have found most useful. It is well-illustrated, offers an engaging mix of explanation, examples and activities, and deserves to be a great success.

The research zones are an especially useful and innovative feature. On topics such as mirror neurons, hypnosis, eye movements and more, Richard and Roger acquaint the reader with work in other fields that is relevant to NLP. The zones include full details of sources, and provide what is often a missing link in NLP publications. They offer a distinctive resource for anyone seeking a well-informed understanding of NLP.

NLP for Teachers: How to be a Highly Effective Teacher is a rare book--unique and original ideas presented in so many different stimulating ways. You have idea sets, toolboxes, research zones, top tips, cartoons--a cornucopia of stimuli. Churches and Terry have produced something that not only will make you a better teacher, it will make any of us a better person if we soak in and act on the many clear suggestions. NLP for Teachers is at once a deeply practical and deeply theoretical book.

Michael Fullan, Professor Emeritus, OISE/University of Toronto

This is a powerful resource for all those who wish to extend their portfolio of strategies to support effective learning and teaching. NLP offers a systematic, coherent and well tried range of techniques to enhance all aspects of communication. The book combines lucid expositions of theory, practical and relevant examples and a range of activities which support understanding and application.

Education is a social process this book demonstrates that it is no longer necessary to aspire to, or exhort, social skills they can be developed and learnt. NLP offers a rigorous approach to personal effectiveness and enhanced professional expertise.

The authors provide an accessible, relevant and directly applicable resource which has the potential to help classrooms and schools become emotionally literate communities.

NLP For Teachers, by Richard Churches and Roger Terry, is a fascinating and extremely accessible book: it is full of information in a highly palatable format.

We highly recommend this book to every education professional who wants access to a set of tools that really work! - NLP - and who desires to grow his or her teaching, and - perhaps even more importantly - who really wants to rediscover what learning is truly about.

Dee Shipman,New Oceans

a great resource for all in the field of education. It contains a wealth of information on NLP, including the essential background to the most important tools and techniques.

One of the main strengths of the book is that it is directly aimed at classroom practice. As such, it is jam-packed with excellent advice and useful strategies as well as motivating and practical ideas. There is a bank of tips, Just Do It activities and a wide variety of NLP Toolboxes, all of which have immediate application to day to day classroom situations.

I work in schools and teachers often ask Whats this NLP all about then?. I can now refer them to to a book that provides a clear and comprehensive guide to how NLP can help a teacher in the classroom. Its packed with the sorts of practical tips teachers like and I particularly like the section on running an NLP-based Inset day.

An NLP book that makes you sit up and take notice! Richard Churches and Roger Terry have provided an essential service to teachers by giving them the means to become excellent role models for the children they teach. The exercises are pitched at the right level for working with kids and for having fun, and the authors provide a comprehensive survey of the neurological research to support the principles of NLP.

Peter Young, authorUnderstanding NLP: Principles and Practice

NLP for Teachers combines a bright A4 format and accessible layout with detailed guidance and techniques on how to improve personal effectiveness as a classroom teacher.

Ideas from NLP have been gradually incorporated into education over a number of years, so it is good to see a book which brings the methods of NLP directly to bear upon the performance of the teacher and his or her interaction with pupils.

This is not just a compilation of practical techniques, however. It also has a substantial underpinning of theory. For those who want to probe deeper there are research zones which include guidance on further reading, opening up the world of NLP more fully and going beyond NLP itself to the key figures who informed its development.
