Your Secondary School Placement Toolkit

Teaching in secondary schools requires a professional mindset and the confidence to face challenging situations. This highly practical and accessible book for all secondary initial teacher education trainees will help you to develop the knowledge and skills required to excel on your school placements.  With case studies from qualified teachers who have been through it all ahead of you, you will be guided through key issues in training to be a teacher: planning and teaching lessons, working with your school mentor, understanding how pupils learn, and discovering how schools really work.
