Teaching is a tough and challenging job and society demands more from its teachers than ever before. This new edition is an essential companion for those training to teach, providing an overview of important professional issues that all future teachers need to engage with in order to succeed in the classroom.
Aiming to give you the confident start you need in the classroom, this third edition is equally valuable to those training to teach in both primary and secondary education, and includes:
• New chapters on: inclusion; school-based training; creativity; and digital technologies
• Increased coverage of behaviour management
• A new feature outlining the relevant Teachers' Standards at the start of each chapter
The accompanying website, has been updated to include additional material expanding on and complementing the contents of the book.
This book is essential reading for professional studies modules on both primary and secondary initial teacher education courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, and on university-based and school-based training courses.
