Achieving Outstanding on your Teaching Placement cover

Making a success of your teaching placement is a vital part of achieving qualified teacher status (QTS). With a focus on practical strategies and closely referenced to OfSTED, this book provides essential guidance on how to translate the ′outstanding′ criteria into practice.

The authors break down the OfSTED criteria so that you can easily identify the skills and knowledge you need to make the most of your placements.

Packed with case studies, practical tasks and links to the QTS standards, the book is structured around:

" developing professional knowledge

" planning

" how to be an outstanding teacher

" classroom management

" teamwork

" assessment

" Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

This book will help trainees make the difficult jump from ′good′ to achieving a Grade 1 ′outstanding′ on their placements.
