Publisher's Synopsis
The role of the form tutor in secondary schools is changing rapidly and becoming increasingly crucial. The pupils, having more responsibility for their own learning, rely on general guidance a form tutor should provide. This book, in examining the role of the form tutor, covers such topics as handling individuals, making and maintaining personal contact, monitoring progress, handling groups and administrative functions.;The book is intended to be useful to those wishing to look at the processes underlying the tasks which face them, and who may feel that they require signposts to help them. It is also meant to be helpful to pastoral advisers, senior tutors and senior managers - all those whose job it is to make the tutor's work possible.
