About the Achieving QTS Series
All the books in this successful series support trainees through their initial teacher training and guide them in the acquisition of their subject knowledge, understanding and classroom practice. All new titles within the series are linked to the 2012 Teachers' Standards adn consider the impact of key government initiatives.
Viv Ellis is Professor of Head of Education at Brunel University in London, UK, and a Visiting Professor at Bergen University College in Norway.
The topics covered in the book are relevant to schools in all countries although some of them, e.g. inclusion have not yet received equal attention in my country so far.
The book is a helpful addition to the literature about secondary teacher preparation. I'd like to see more about the use of video for developing and improving teacher performance.
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.
Very good- but not as comprehensive as core text
an essential text
I will be using this book next semester as an essential for my course therefore I will provide you with the feedback in due course
Straight forward and offers additional resources.
A very useful text with excellent guidance, examples, key points and further reading.
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
