Invaluable text - By: , 08 Aug 2002 
Learing to Teach REin Secondary Schools is proving invaluable to me as I approach the start of my PGCE training. It is well written, informative, easy to digest & comprehend. Covering everything from previous / present legislation to various levels & options for assessment & planning this is an excellent source of information for anyone wanting to teach REin Secondary Schools. Not only has it developed & expanded my own understanding of the tasks involved, but it also offers a comprehensible, & thorough, explanation of the many areas which I have yet to address. There are references to many other publications, some of which are available to download off the Internet & which will prove invaluablein my quest to teach RE. The book also includes numerous tasks which can be adopted prior to, during & after training. Having read this book I can see me referring to it regularly throughout my training &in the years to come & I would recommend it to anyone!
An essential handbook fro any secondary RE teacher trainee - By: , 01 Dec 2001 This book takes RE student teachers through from the initial questions to finding a job, step-by-step. The various authors who have contributed compliment each other as they address their specific specialismin RE. All the issues are covered. The book is clearly presented with interesting case studies & tasks to reinforce the points made.
The initial question any students ask is 'why'? This is where the book starts. Gradually each issue is addressed; there are chapters on language, assessment, SEN, KS4 & 16+. There is also a section on wider school discussions such as collective worship & spiritualityin school.
The final section covers professional development including getting a suitable post, ITin RE, & further training after qualifying. This book will be useful beyond the initial teacher training course.
This is an extremely useful book for the intended audience (although highly specialist) - the series does include books for the majority of secondary school subjects. This is a must have!!
