Effective and Research-Based Professional Practice.
This is the Rolls-Royce of textbooks for initial teacher education, written by a world-class authority on the subject.
It enables each newly-qualifying teacher to relate practice to theory within his or her own particular context.
This edition, which retains all the essential features of the best-selling previous editions, has been fully updated to take account of new research findings; new standards for initial teacher education; changes in the educational policy and the social context of education.
