About the Book

Replacing Mike Cole's highly acclaimed Professional Issues for Teachers and Student Teachers, this comprehensive and accessible new edition provides practical advice and all the information required to help student teachers prepare for their professional lives.

The book deals with each of the nine DfES professional values that must be demonstrated in order to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), devoting a chapter to each. It explains just what the requirements are and how they can be fulfilled.

This is a essential text for all students aiming to qualify for QTS, and is also an invaluable resource for all practicing teachers (particularly professional tutors and mentors), teacher educators and INSET providers.

Reviews
