Training to Teach by Neil Denby

Teaching is a tough and challenging job and society demands more from its teachers than ever before. This new edition is an essential companion for those training to teach providing an overview of important professional issues that all future teachers need to engage with in order to succeed in the classroom.   Previously known as How to Achieve Your QTS, this Second Edition is equally valuable to those training to teach in both primary and secondary education and aims to give students the confident start they need in the classroom. Features new to this edition include more balanced primary education coverage and four new chapters on: child protection issues, teaching pupils with English as an Additional Language, cross-curricular teaching issues and your first teaching post: applications, interviews and induction.   The accompanying Website www.sagepub.co.uk/denby, has been updated to include additional material expanding on and complementing the contents of the book.   This book is essential reading for professional studies modules on both primary and secondary initial teacher education courses at both udergraduate and postgraduate level, and on university-based and school-based training courses.   Neil Denby teaches at the School of Education and Professional Development, University of Huddersfield.

′This second edition builds on the success of the first, dealing with a comprehensive range of topics and issues which are pertinent to trainee teachersThe book is highly readable and accessible, with content being usefully organised and key applications to practice and reflection points being clearly sign-posted. It includes some very welcome and valuable updates which reflect the increasingly complex challenges presented by the ever-changing nature of education. In particular, the additional material on diversity and pupils with EAL will prove valuable to trainee teachers and those new to the profession. The book also effectively covers changes in government strategy related to child protection, and provides insight into the diverse range of professional colleagues involved in the holistic care of children. Each chapter usefully provides key reading and useful contact details and websites, therefore enabling trainee teachers to follow up issues covered as part of their continuing personal and professional development. Trainee teachers of all subjects will find this a very useful resource′
