How to be a Brilliant Trainee Teacher ’I just wanted to say how refreshing it is to read such good sense written in jargon-free English. The book encapsulates and articulates exactly what being a trainee is all about ... it is the best book on teacher training I have read.’ - Phil Horsfall, PGCE Curriculum Area Leader for MFL, University of York, UK

Trevor Wright, University of Worcester, UK. He has been a successful teacher for about thirty years, and a trainer of teachers for about ten years. Ofsted inspectors described his school teaching as ‘uncommon, exemplary, extraordinarily effective’.

2007: 216x138: 176pp Hb: 978-0-415-41109-7: £70.00 Pb: 978-0-415-41110-3: £16.99

This cheerful and accessible book is packed with direct and straightforward advice drawn from the author’s extensive and successful personal experience as teacher-trainer, teacher and examiner. It sets out clear and practical guidelines to support teacher training, moving teaching directly towards a real understanding of how and why pupils learn and of how they can enhance their own progress. It also offers reassurance and support with the difficulties which a teacher might encounter through their training. It does this by: outlining strategies for organisation; exploring issues of personal development; demystifying areas often seen as difficult or complex; providing achievable and practical solutions; directly addressing anxieties.

Although a practical book, at its heart lie essential principles about good teaching and learning. It is anecdotal and readable, and may be dipped into for innovative lesson ideas or read from cover-tocover as a short, enjoyable course which discovers exciting teaching principles in successful, practical experience.

The book is ideal for secondary trainee teachers, but the underlying principles about what makes a brilliant trainee teacher are applicable to primary trainees too.

Ways of Learning

TITLE

Learning Theories and Learning Styles in the Classroom Teachers are very good at providing excellent opportunities for children’s learning to progress. Often, without fully understanding the reasons why, teachers encourage learning in their charges which works very well, and is a very good approach at a particular time with a particular child or group of children. With greater insight into what is currently known about the processes of learning and about individual learning preferences, teachers are able to provide even better learning situations which are even more likely to lead to effective learning. This book seeks to provide the detail which teachers can make use of in their planning and teaching in order to provide even better opportunities for effective and lasting learning.

The first edition of this book has been used widely and has now been revised to include updated information in the existing chapters as well as a new chapter which covers the area of learning difficulties and special educational needs.
