About the Book

‘It is impossible to say which is the most valuable chapter: all contain useful material which will help those involved in the practical aspects of teaching, not just beginning teachers, to reflect more critically on the teaching and learning process.’

British Journal of Educational Studies

A Guide to Teaching Practice is the major standard text for all students on initial teacher training courses.

Authoritative yet accessible, it provides student teachers with the important basic skills and issues which students need to consider during their practice, such as planning, classroom organization, behaviour management and assessment. The book's focus on the quality of teaching and learning and consideration of the latest regulation and guidelines ensures that it fits comfortably within TTA and OfSTED frameworks.

In addition, the latest edition features brand new chapters on the foundation stage, legal issues, learning and teaching and using ICT in the classroom, as well as new material on numeracy, literacy, children's rights, progress files and gifted and talented children.

This website is a supplement to the textbook, structured around the books chapters, which provides additional learning resources and useful links for students and lecturers.

A Guide to Teaching Practice is the most respected and widely-used textbook for initial teacher training courses and is an essential resource for any student teacher.
