Learning and Teaching in Secondary Schools

This textbook explains to those in training to be teachers in England the issues involved in learning and teaching in secondary schools. Contributed by educators from the country, the 15 chapters cover professional attributes and skills, such as professional values, understanding learning, planning, assessment, and behavior management; knowledge across the curriculum in the areas of literacy, numeracy, and information and communication technology, and the aims and values of the 14-19 curriculum; and aspects of inclusion, such as special educational needs, English as a second language, and equality and diversity. This edition has updated chapters, with integration of the new Teaching Standards and SEN (Special Educational Needs) policies, and new chapters on teaching as a Master’s level profession and pastoral care, personal, social, and health education and citizenship. Appendices cross-reference standards and competencies in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
