Introduction
This reader is intended to provide you with relevant, useful and challenging reading alongside the content, learning activity and practical teaching experience of the course. It will help you to build ideas and concepts about teaching and the wider world of teaching and learning, and to use those ideas to reflect on the practical aspects of your professional work. We will work with you to help integrate the theories, values and ideas relating to teaching with your own practice as a teacher, and to use them effectively when completing the work for this course to achieve your teaching qualification.
There are enough items in this reader, and with other sources you will be guided towards, to provide you with a good start, but do not only confine yourself to what is in this reader.
Copies of the books featured in the Course Reader should be available through the library of the centre you are studying at, and there are many more books, documents and other sources out there, waiting for you to discover them.
The readings are grouped in sequence by author / publication, not by module, as some are relevant to more than one module, but guidance is given as to which modules they best suit.
A grid of the readings in the order they appear follows, then a full bibliographical listing of all the books from which the items have been selected, which should make referencing them straightforward. A title page is inserted before each chapter with the bibliographical details of that chapter.
Page Numbering
The individual pages of the reader are not numbered, as it changes on a regular basis, so please use the list of chapters as your index.
When using items in this course reader, do not cite them as ‘course reader etc…’ cite and list them in your bibliography as the original chapters.
When quoting from this reader ensure you use the numbering from the original publication.
Happy reading!
