highly recommended
Mr Vernon Ambris, Health and Social Care , East Berkshire College
A good beginners guide to a masters course in teaching. includes modules likely to be in such courses and basic advice and support.
Mrs Michelle Grainger, Sheffield Centre, LifeSkills
A well written book. It covers the basics required when completing an M.A.
Mrs Cheryl Hine, Teacher Training, Leeds City College
This is for a future course, that does not have students on it currently, however it is an interesting informative read with lots of clear direction.
Mrs Kelly Giordano, Higher education, Accrington & Rossendale College
Probably needs updating in view of government changes, or re-writing.Still many useful ideas here, for trainee teachers as well as NQTs. Some interesting case studies.
Dr Sue Howarth, Institute of Education, Worcester University
