Your First Teaching Post

'Teaching Children 3 - 11: A Student's Guide is a great overview guide to the most important elements that you need to know about for teaching in the Primary and Early Years phase. It's an easy to read starter text with well thought through references to other work so that the reader is guided through the plethora of literature'
- Sara Bubb


'This book has something for all students, combining theory with useful, practical advice. Issues I know students often find challenging, such as behaviour management, making the most of the tutor's visit and working with other adults are all included... a worthwhile investment for students on any ITT course'

A very useful guide for students on placement. I recommend this book to levels 4, 5 and 6 on our BA (hons) Childhood studies course as it promotes reflective practice. There are short, activities/summaries/issues for reflection that help the students to focus upon the important aspect of classroom practice.
