Format:Paperback
Nicnamed 'The Bible' at my University, this book has a comprehensive index and contents page. It also has a wonderful ability to link in with whatever assignment on education that you are set. It is jargon free, with subtitles and bullet points that let you gather information at a glance. The down side is that it is perhaps more geared towards secondary teaching rather than primary, nevertheless it is one of the only books that I won't be selling when I graduate.

Format:Paperback
.... I have found this book invaluable, both for new and trainee teachers in clearly outlining essential aspects of classroom practice, and for experienced teachers as a reminder of those essential aspects in an engaging and refreshing way.

Very "Essential"
An excellent handbook to a GTP or PGCE year with invaluable information and work on theories.

A good source
This has been useful over the past year (PGDE(P), however the style does require some initial understanding of education theory and perserverance.

Very poor - don't waste your money
This book is awful. I hardly found anything useful in it (it is also surprisingly thin). There are loads of better PGCE textbooks available.
