A must have for all prospective teachers - By: , 25 Apr 2005 This book is an amazing insight into the world of teaching! As a graduate about to begin her pgcein september, this proved to be most helpfulin highlighting all different aspects of teaching as a career. It looks at a variety of topics such as teaching & the law, lesson observation, assessment & how to handle the kids. In doing so, it provided help & advice on not only the practical elements, but also the formal side such as paperwork & organising procedures such as observation. I read thisin a very short time because I just couldn't put it down!

Very thought provoking and informative - By: , 04 Aug 1999 
As someone soon to begin a teacher education course I bought this book to provide me with some background reading. Each chapter is well laid out & tied to a particular topic.
The book refers to examples & then explains theories & ideas related to these, which makes it easier to understand & more true to life.
This book is ideal for anyone wanting to be a teacher, on a teacher education course, or evenin their early years of the profession.
