A Student Teacher's Guide to Primary School Placement: Learning to Survive and Prosper

This much-needed book prepares student teachers for the pressures and challenges that they will face on school experience programs, and then as they move from school experience to their first job. The 'story', as the expert trainee becomes the novice teacher is set in the context by extracts from numerous genuine case studies, which the author uses to highlight the highs and lows, problems, pitfalls and possibilities of the life in school. To help the student further, the book also contains summaries, and makes comments that will underpin issues of practice with relevant theory.
