Opis

This work examines the way in which personality and identity of the pupil is shaped by his or her experiences in school. The text considers the way in which teachers in secondary schools are working, and to some extent living, with adolescent pupils for the majority of time in their weekday waking lives. The book examines: to what extent teachers provide both positive and negative role models for pupils to follow; the factors restricting the ability of teachers to teach effectively; and conversely, what factors work to their advantage.

Recenzje

'I would recommend this book to be used as a teaching resource, particularly for the stimulation of discussion and the preparation for taught sessions. This is a welcome addition to the resources of anyone engaged in teacher education.' - Journal of Education for Teaching

'It is a scholarly work which deliberately draws lessons from current research and suggests in very constructive ways how professionals may put these into practice when working with adolescents. A very useful and stimulating read.' - Educational Review
