Opis

This collection brings together key articles to develop and support student teachers' understanding of the theory, research and evidence base that underpins effective practice. Each reading is contextualised and includes questions to encourage reflection and help engage with material critically.

Designed for use on M level Secondary PGCEs, and equally useful for all other Secondary Education courses, Readings for Learning to Teach in the Secondary School: A Companion to M Level Study will provide student teachers with material to support their work on the theoretical side of learning to teach.

The Reader is divided into sections which correspond with the structure of the 5^th edition of Learning to Teach in the Secondary School as follows:

Becoming a teacher

Beginning to teach

Classroom interactions and managing pupils

Pupil differences

Helping pupils learn

Assessment

The school, curriculum and society

Professional development of teachers.

Students have little time during a one year PGCE course to explore academic literature freely and need support and direction on what to read and why it might be relevant. This Reader meets that need by:

Bringing together key readings that are contextualised with an introductory paragraph

Posing questions after every reading encouraging students to critically reflect on the content

Explaining suggestions for further reading that will set them up for further study.

Together, this collection provides a theoretical, research and evidence base to help students understand and explore aspects of teaching and learning in present day secondary classrooms.

Edited by the same team that produce the highly successful Learning to Teach range of textbooks, this Reader will be an indispensable guide to M level study, both on PGCE courses and on Masters degrees themselves. Using the 5^th edition textbook alongside this Reader will enable students to truly relate theory to practice though it can of course be used as a stand alone text. Masters level work must become integral to all elements of the PGCE programme and the cross-referencing between these two books will be extremely useful in helping lecturers and students to achieve this.
