Professional Issues in Primary Practice (PGCE Professional Workbooks) Book

Initial teacher training is the first stage in your professional development as a teacher. This book will support you in identifying strengths and areas for further development, and help you meet the Professional Standards for the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Providing a combination of theoretical study and practical experiences, it will help you to develop as a reflective and critical practitioner. Recognising the variety of experiences and learning with which trainees start their courses, this book is structured around a flexible needs assessment process. Each chapter includes school-based activities, which can be carried out in school placements with different age groups, and, given that they are related to general professional practice, can be completed within the teaching of any subject. The flexible structure of this book will support trainees on a variety of training routes including employment-based, flexible, modular, part-time and full-time PGCE courses.Read More
