Synopsis

We are all familiar with the horror stories told by student teachers after their first few days in school. Learning to teach may appear to be fairly simple, but the reality is quite different. Classroom teaching is only the most visible part of the job of a teacher, and to become a good teacher, a student needs to understand the skills, knowledge, and approaches upon which professional expertise is based. This text aims to support student secondary school teachers through the school-based element of their initial training courses, an element which is increasingly important with the shift from college-based towards classroom-based training. The book is divided into units, each covering a key concept or skill. Units focus initially on the management of classrooms and on issues of concern to prospective teachers managing classes for the first time. They then progress to address factors influencing learning and the wider professional perspective. Units include: the student teacher's role in planning lessons and schemes of work; motivating pupils; differentiation and grouping pupils; teaching and learning styles; assessment and recording; and working as part of a team.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A sound and practical introduction to the knowledge and skills needed to qualify as a teacher, the fifth edition of Learning to Teach in the Secondary School is designed to help you develop the qualities that lead to good practice and a successful future in education. It retains its focus on evidence-based practice and supporting theory which provide a framework for student teachers to critically reflect on their own learning and performance.

Written by experienced practitioners, this book addresses many of the situations and potential challenges faced by the student teacher today and inspires the confidence needed to respond effectively to dynamic classroom situations. A unit on personalised learning, and another on the relationship between the brain and learning, are new to this edition and all other units have been updated to reflect recent developments in professional knowledge and practice.
