Suitable for all those studying to teach the 14 to 19 age range, this book is ideal for those on Secondary PGCE, PGDE and GTP courses leading to QTS, those studying for the post-compulsory sector PTLLS, DTLLS and CTLLS qualifications and those doing Overseas Teacher Training and Teach First courses.
'Successful Teaching 14-19 offers a comprehensive introduction to the intricacies of teaching. It covers not only the skills and habits needed by contemporary teachers, but also the theoretical and reflective context within which they operate. While much of what is written will be useful to any teacher, there is a welcome focus on the 14-19 agenda' - Tony Lawson, Senior Lecturer, University of Leicester
Some excellent practical activities suggested to embed the issues outlined. A useful text book for all teachers in the PCET and Life Long Learning sector.
This book offers no nonsense insights into some of the issues that secondary school teachers have to deal with in their day-to-day practice, and offers scope for teachers to reflect on their practice too.
