Product Description

Review

'For many years this book has been the mainstay of students learning to teach in the secondary school, whatever their chosen subject area. The fifth edition has been brought up-to-date yet maintains all those elements so essential to those who are with enthusiasm, but some trepidation, attempting to grow into successful teachers.' – Gillian L.S. Hilton, Head of Education, Middlesex University, UK

'I found this book a great help in preparing effective lessons and developing classroom management skills. It gave me confidence and support in my placement schools. When I started looking for a job, the section on professional development proved really useful with clear and practical tips and I still use the book as a reference today.' – Fabienne Collombon, French Teacher, Dulwich, London and Secondary PGCE in Modern Foreign Languages Graduate, Institute of Education, University of London, UK

Product Description

A sound and practical introduction to the knowledge and skills needed to qualify as a teacher, the fifth edition of Learning to Teach in the Secondary School is designed to help you develop the qualities that lead to good practice and a successful future in education. It retains its focus on evidence-based practice and supporting theory which provide a framework for student teachers to critically reflect on their own learning and performance.

Written by experienced practitioners, this book addresses many of the situations and potential challenges faced by the student teacher today and inspires the confidence needed to respond effectively to dynamic classroom situations. A unit on personalised learning, and another on the relationship between the brain and learning, are new to this edition and all other units have been updated to reflect recent developments in professional knowledge and practice.

The textbook features include:

  • tasks throughout, including those supporting M Level study
  • annotated further reading at the end of units
  • a glossary including abbreviations
  • a guide to writing successful assignments.

The Companion Website resources, available at http://www.routledge.com/textbooks/9780415478724, include:

Additional units that independently focus on education in Wales and Northern Ireland

Appendices explaining the implications of Every Child Matters and Safe Working Practice initiatives

Unit summaries, key topics and further reading, highlighted in PowerPoint slides for lecturers

Weblinks to useful resources for each unit

Editable tables and figures from some units

Sample units from this and Starting to Teach in the Secondary School 2nd edition

This core text accompanies the subject-specific Learning to Teach in the Secondary School Series and is an essential purchase for every aspiring secondary school teacher.

An Invaluable Book! 23 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
As a Secondary Music PGCE student studying at Southampton University UK, I have found this book particularly useful. It's extremely well laid out and covers a lot of ground - from Classroom Management/Psychology to Professional Themes. It's helpful having access to a text with up to date information. Overall, an excellent book - a must for all trainee teachers.

Format:Paperback
This book is a comprehensive guide for those who wish to undertake teacher training to become a secondary school teacher. Not only does it cover the main issues in teaching such as lesson planning and behaviour management but it also give a useful yet concise guide to other important aspects of teaching such as details on the national curriculum, the psychology of pupils and how to maximise learning for your pupils taking in to consideration different learning styles and abilities.
The most useful aspects were the suggested exercises and issues to consider in order preparing oneself for school placements.

Format:Paperback
As a new PGCE Physics student I've found this book useful as a guide. Its easy to pick up and just read a small section that you wish to either study or to look at a specific problem. I can see it also being used as reference material during your first teaching postion.

Learning to teach in the secondary school
Book recommended by Cambridge PGCE reading list. Some valuable information but I always find that the subject specific books in this range are of far more use
