Full of practical help and guidance, this is a must have for primary trainees on school experience, whether they are in a school-based or university-based teacher training programme. It begins by helping trainees to plan their own journey through training and beyond. Taking control of their own training in this way supports student teachers to approach the course with confidence, and secure their first teaching job.
The book provides guidance on:
adapting to working in school
observing, planning and evaluating in school
teaching on placement
assessing, monitoring and reporting on children's progress
self-evaluation and how to pre-empt and resolve issues
securing the first teaching job and succeeding in the NQT year
For student teachers, the experience of school-based training is exciting but also challenging - this book supports them throughout and prepares them for the journey ahead.
