Teacher Training Zone

(Achieving QTLS) by Jim Gould (Paperback - 27 May 2009) �11.39

This book is a valuable resource for all trainee teachers in the Lifelong Learning Sector who want to further their understanding of learning theories and how these can be applied to their classroom practice. Each learning theory is considered with the implications for planning, teaching, assessment and classroom management in mind and readers are encouraged to think critically about learning theories and the implications of these for classroom practice. This book will help trainees fulfil the criteria for the award of QTLS and, more importantly, encourage them to use learning theories to bring their teaching alive.
