Becoming a Teacher: Issues in Secondary Education 6e Simon Gibbons 6º edição

Becoming a Teacher offers a broad context for understanding education, addressing issues such as social justice, educational ideology and teacher well-being and identity. The theoretical content is balanced with practical advice for the classroom on topics such as assessment for learning, behaviour management, differentiation and curriculum planning.

Becoming a Teacher draws extensively on contemporary research and empirical evidence to support critical reflection about learning and teaching. Encouraging the reader to reflect on their own knowledge and beliefs, it explores some of the complex social and cultural dimensions that influence professional learning and practice.

Becoming a Teacher's approach chimes with the commonly accepted recognition that all those involved in the education of young people should take a research-informed approach towards classroom practice. The substantial rethinking that has informed this sixth edition means the Becoming a Teacher continues to provide invaluable support, guidance and insight for all those training to be secondary teachers and a rich resource for students undertaking undergraduate or postgraduate education studies programmes.
