The Teachers' Standards in the Classroom
Achieving QTS Series
This book is the essential guide to the application of these standards in the classroom.
The text supports you to interpret the standards effectively and independently, and to apply them to your teaching. The chapters mirror the standards themselves and practical guidance and classroom-based examples help link theory to practice. The text also enables you to enhance your understanding of the standards and improve your teaching and professional practice.
This second edition has been updated to include notes on the new OFSTED framework and the new National Curriculum. Also included are more questions to help trainee teachers think around the standards in relation to placements and assess how and whether they have met the requirements.
A fantastic book, lots of good tips and tools for a variety of levels. Highly recommended
The MA programme attracts researchers across many design fields (including education) who seek to influence thinking and practice. This publication focusses predominantly on the acquisition of the professional standards rather than innovative methodologies in the classroom.
This book very clearly presents each of the teacher's standards in a way that students can develop their understanding and meet the criteria in their working practice. Tips and tasks enable the students to put concepts into practice. This book is particularly useful on our professional studies modules when the students first go into schools.
Supports trainees to understand the purposes behind the TS.
Useful as a reference point for students trying to evidence Standards during teaching experience.
Most teacher training courses start with the subject matter of teaching and then add on the standards where appropriate. This book shows a more innovative way of starting with the teaching standards and unpicking these by definition and reference to the trainee's own experiences in the 'Reflections' sections of the book. The 'professional studies' elements are then pulled into the debate. Students who study this book will have a more comprehensive view of how the teaching standards relate to both their training and their teaching.This would also prove a useful source of reference for newly Qualified Teachers in their first year of teaching.
Very easy to read.
Helpful guide to understand how to apply the standards/ useful classroom based examples.
Good references to the New National Curriculum.
I like the comparisons made with expectations of trainees/professionals in other professions.
Useful questions in each chapter to help trainees reflect on specific areas.
This is an essential text for those teaching on EYITT programmes, clear and well set out. Suggestion for evidence are excellent
A small concise and useful resources which is a must for those who are thinking about a teaching career. It is straight forward to read and follow with useful sections to prompt reflection.
Strong clear text taking the 'fear' out of achieving the Teacher's Standards. Guidance is pertinent and effective as the students are supported in seeing the links in their practice.
