Are you looking for a complete training manual, to get you through your assignments, help you on your teaching practice and support you in your first teaching job?
For trainee teachers studying to teach the 14 to 19 age group in secondary schools and colleges, Successful Teaching 14-19 is a practical guide covering the essential skills that must be acquired in order to successfully complete your course.
Five sections cover education policy, professional skills, theory, practice and reflection. The authors provide teaching ideas that work, and that will help trainee teachers to improve their grades and lesson observation profiles. There is a clear explanation of the theoretical underpinning that must be grasped in order to pass written assignments, and Masters level debates are addressed throughout the book, with a dedicated chapter exploring academic themes and issues.
The book is packed with ideas for classroom activities, and popular topics covered include:
- essential educational theory
- behavior and classroom management
- how to start off lessons
- ideas for group work
- setting homework
- evaluating your own practice, and understanding how you can improve
- revising for exams
- working as part of a team
- using technology
All the chapters contain learning objectives, discussion points, examples from practice, Masters level extensions (for those studying at that level) and suggestions for further reading.
Suitable for all those studying to teach the 14 to 19 age range, this book is ideal for those on Secondary PGCE, PGDE and GTP courses leading to QTS, those studying for the post-compulsory sector PTLLS, DTLLS and CTLLS qualifications and those doing Overseas Teacher Training and Teach First courses.
Excellent classroom resource, particularly useful for P.G.C.E. students.
A useful text that supports parts of the first year of teacher training courses.The practical examples and activates are very useful for discussion.It is written in a user friendly style which students on their first year like.
This is a great book for helping lecturers in further education identify and understand theories relevant to their class groups. There are also some good examples of the theories and case studies to help.
This book will be very useful for all teaching staff involved with this age group.
Good for staff who deal with this age group as a large part of their teaching committment
A useful text for those teaching this age group. Case studies and further work useful for class exercises and follow up work.
I really enjoyed this book in the way it was written, examples and case studies that can be applied for learners on CTLLS and DTLLS programmes
Informative and interesting, its constantly being passed around my colleagues!!
Please see feedback posted on this text previosuly for PTLLS course.
