Description

Reflective practice is at the heart of effective teaching, and this book helps you develop into a reflective teacher of science. Everything you need is here: guidance on developing your analysis and self-evaluation skills, the knowledge of what you are trying to achieve and why, and examples of how experienced teachers deliver successful lessons.

The book shows you how to plan lessons, how to make good use of resources, and how to assess pupils' progress effectively. Each chapter contains points for reflection, which encourage you to break off from your reading and think about the challenging questions that you face as a new teacher.

The book comes with access to a companion website, where you will find:

  • Videos of real lessons so you can see the skills discussed in the text in action
  • Links to a range of sites that provide useful additional support
  • Extra planning and resource materials

If you are training to teach science this book will help you to improve your classroom performance by providing you with practical advice, but also by helping you to think in depth about the key issues. It also provides examples of the research evidence that is needed in academic work at the graduate level.

Thank you but I felt our current textbook fulfilled our needs. There is very much the same content but ours linked with our PS textbook
Miss Lorraine Smith, Department of Secondary Education, Greenwich University
This is an easy to read and understand book. I can see it being useful for early teachers perhaps at the start of their course. There are lots of practical ideas that trainees can try on teaching practice. It would benefit from a new edition to include the new standards.Sarah PooreSchool of Education, Brighton UniversityNov 07 2013

Nice book which can contribute especially to the more lesson-focused parts of the course. We will leave it to the students, though.
