Learning to teach in the secondary school - Susan Capel

Learning to teach may sound easy enough but the reality involves hard work and careful preparation. To become an effective teacher requires subject knowledge, an understanding of your pupils and the confidence to respond to dynamic classroom situations.
This highly practical text is a revised edition of the very successful first two editions. With even more useful strategies and ideas, Learning to Teach in the Secondary School covers the whole spectrum of situations and potential problems faced by training and newly qualified teachers.
This edition has been updated to include the changes to the National Curriculum that came into force in September 1999. It also covers changes in the organisation and curriculum for Initial Teacher Training and Continuing Professional Development
This text offers a sound and practical introduction to the skills needed to gain Qualified Teacher Status, and will help you to develop those qualities that lead to good practice and a successful future in education. This book is the core text for the subject specific Learning to Teach series, also published by RoutledgeFalmer, and is an essential buy for every student teacher.
