teaching excellence

The definitive guide to NLP for Teaching and Learning

preface

We live in a time of unprecedented opportunity. More children have access to more teaching and learning than ever before in history. New advancements in technology are placing a vast world of information at the touch of a button, the click of a mouse. The Neuro-Sciences are providing more and more information about how we learn and how we remember. The challenges facing teachers every day are greater than they have ever been. Curriculum changes, the expectations of parents, more and more administration. All this combined with the growing competition of social media leaves teachers with less time for delivery. We believe it is a wonder that people still enter the teaching profession. Yet it is for most of them, not just a job, but a mission. A mission to spread enthusiasm and joy for learning. The sense of achievement helping those hard to reach students to learn more.

You had the secret of teaching excellence!

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a set of skills, behaviours, and beliefs which enable people to think in much the same way as a successful expert thinks. Whether it is spelling, basketball, art, music or maths, NLP finds the structure and teaches it to those already so gifted.

NLP was created by Dr. Richard Bandler and Dr. John Grinder in the 1970s, to study excellence, and replicate it. In the field of Education, NLP furnishes the teacher, or parent, with a way to change how a student learns. NLP can create a paradigm shift in every learner, in every classroom, in every school, in every college. Our action-based research, published in the Durham Report, as well as other project reports, demonstrates stunning results.

THE UNIQUENESS OF THIS BOOK is that it does what no other book can. This book gets right into the heart of how learning works with the collaboration of Dr. Richard Bandler and the Director of Education for the Society of Neuro-Linguistic Programming , Kate Benson. This collaboration of two people with such a deep and abiding passion for learning is the result of decades of relentless work.

Dr. Richard Bandler has spent the last 45 years developing elegant and swift ways to help people to think on purpose. To think more successfully, in a special way for each task. To motivate, decide and remember in new ways that make life easier and more effective.

Kate Benson has taught thousands of teachers to utilise NLP in teaching and learning to create happy and successful learners.

This book provides precise guidance that will enable every teacher to teach effectively to learners of every age, in every context. Whether you are new to teaching or very experienced, you can systematically improve your skills using the powerful technology of NLP. Those who train teachers will find strategies to train teachers. Ensuring the next generation of teachers gain the attitude, skills and behaviours that go into making great teachers great. So their students become tenacious learners.

This book shows you how to design and teach for learning, from memorising facts to magical mathematics, effective spelling, reading, creative writing, and so much more.

To survive and thrive in this world, learning itself is an essential skill set. Everything is changing faster than ever before. Learning to learn thus becomes, itself, a skill set. With this book everybody can become a more effective learner, and teach others along the way.

This book was written for you the teacher. We are very certain, since you are reading this book, you want to be the best teacher you can be. This book is designed to inspire and provide a step-by-step approach to mastering the art and science of learning. By the end of this book you will have the secrets of how to captivate your students and create exquisite learning effortlessly. Our mission is to share with you an exciting set of tools that can transform the impact you have in your classroom.
