Fifth Edition
Edited by:


April 2013 | 224 pages | Learning Matters
Linked to the new Teachers' Standards, this is an essential text for all secondary trainees and PGCE students, training at an ITT institution or in a school. The text covers all fundamental issues for learning and teaching in secondary schools. It guides trainee teachers through the professional attributes, skills and knowledge they need, focusing on a range of key topics and summarising important educational research. It examines the curriculum, planning, assessing and SEN and explores EAL, equality and diversity and pastoral care. A chapter is included to help support students in their Masters level work at PGCE and throughout, interactive activities make essential links between theory and practice. In all chapters, practical examples demonstrates how all aspects relate to the classroom.

A good read and very practical

Mrs Sara Bell

Parts of this book were very helpful for students particularly for the Educational Professional Studies part of the PGCE course. This was recommended and put on the reading list.

Although structured around the previous ITE standards, this continues to provide a useful addition to the resource list for our beginning teachers. Frequently selected chapters include Assessment for Learning and Managing Behaviour for Learning.

Mrs Julia Croft

An accessible book that gives a brief overview of some of the key issues in secondary teaching that trainees need to get to grips with. It includes practical activities and reflections throughout. It will be useful as an introduction to the themes covered.

Mr Andrew Connell
Education Division, Keele University

At the start of this academic year, this book would have been a good starting point to help organise the course. It covers most areas that PGCE students will encounter over their course and links this with examples to illustrate the point. This is a good starting point for ITE studies

A useful addition to the booklist for those training to teach in the secondary phase. Also a good book to have in the CPD library in secondary schools for those looking for reading materials to support CPD.

Another excellent edition of this important title for trainee teachers. As with previous editions, the updates are extremely pertinent and very timely.

Straight forward and offers additional resources.
