One of the best general guides available for prospective teachers at both primary and secondary level.

Specifically, the book covers:
The nature and development of teaching skills
planning, preparing, presenting and managing lessons

assessing and evaluating pupils' and teacher's own performance
the DfEE's competences for newly qualified teachers
differentiation, streaming and setting

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.
