Readings for Learning to Teach in the Secondary School cover

Readings for Learning to Teach in the Secondary School brings together key articles to develop and support student teachers' understanding of the theory, research and evidence base that underpins effective practice.

Designed for all students engaging with M Level study, each reading is contextualised and includes questions to encourage reflection and help you engage with material critically. Annotated further reading for every section supports your own research and writing.

Readings are structured to make links with the practical guidance in the accompanying core textbook, Learning to Teach in the Secondary School. Topics covered include:

  • motivation
  • troublesome classroom behaviour
  • ability grouping
  • inclusive education
  • personalised learning
  • testing
  • achievement and underachievement.

Edited by the team that brings us Learning to Teach in the Secondary School, this Reader is an indispensible 'one-stop' resource that will support all students studying, researching and writing at M level on PGCE courses, as well as those on all other secondary education courses and masters degrees.

‘This timely publication provides a readily accessible source of the most stimulating and relevant published research in the field of education. Readings include those which directly influence day-to-day practice, consider educational policy, and explore new areas of interest, such as neuroscience. All teachers, whether on programmes of initial teacher education or simply interested in reflecting on their practice will find this book useful reading.’

Sheila King, Director of the Secondary PGCE, Institute of Education, University of London, UK

‘This collection of readings and guidance is a valuable tool for developing reflective practice in those entering the teaching profession. It provides an excellent introduction to postgraduate study in initial teacher education, engaging readers in core aspects of early professional development through carefully selected and recent thought-provoking articles.’

Peter Horsfall, Head of Secondary Initial Teacher Education, Liverpool John Moores University, UK
