Supplements
'This second edition builds on the success of the first, dealing with a comprehensive range of topics and issues which are pertinent to trainee teachers. The book is highly readable and accessible, with content being usefully organised and key applications to practice and reflection points being clearly sign-posted. It includes some very welcome and valuable updates which reflect the increasingly complex challenges presented by the ever-changing nature of education. In particular, the additional material on diversity and pupils with EAL will prove valuable to trainee teachers and those new to the profession. The book also effectively covers changes in government strategy related to child protection, and provides insight into the diverse range of professional colleagues involved in the holistic care of children. Each chapter usefully provides key reading and useful contact details and websites, therefore enabling trainee teachers to follow up issues covered as part of their continuing personal and professional development. Trainee teachers of all subjects will find this a very useful resource'

'This guide aimed at student teachers and those perhaps in their first year of teaching is utterly brilliant. It is written at exactly the right level and covers the professional studies ground every student teacher - from primary through to post-16 - needs to know'

Solid and authoritative.
A useful book to accompany the Award or Certificate in education and training a sit covers all the content of these courses in an easy to follow manner.
Essential reading for those training to teach children
one of many similar texts - the students can choose which they want to use.
This provides a clear and comprehensive guide and reference point to a wide range of issues which the students need to consider.
Really liked the format. Clear, used language that was easy to understand. Encouraged reflection though 'tasks'.
We decided to adopt one main text for all PGCE students and unfortunately this was not the one chosen by the whole team.
Adopted as an essential source
This text book will be particularly useful for undergraduate Initial Teacher Education students. The chapters by Glazzrd and Pearson are especially useful and relevent for early studies in today's classrooms.
