Clearly structured around the standards for Qualified Teacher Status (DfES 02/02), this book explains each of the eight requirements for Professional Values and Practice and how they can be fulfilled in the classroom. This book:
- is relevant for all 'professional issues' modules in initial teacher education
- helps student teachers log their achievements against the standards
- provides practical advice to help teachers prepare for professional life
- includes real life case studies illustrating classroom practice.
Thought provoking and engaging, this book is relevant for any student or practising teacher concerned with developing professionally in the forever-changing world of education.
'Very useful resource for student teachers who are getting to grips with the complexity of professional values and practice standards ... it introduces beginning teachers to equality issues ... as well as to the process of critical reflection.' - JET Magazine, May 2006
