"...For this new edition, each chapter has been revised with the needs of student teachers in mind, taking account of the new routes through to qualified teacher status including open learning, in-school training and modular study. The introductory chapters include new material on continuing professional development (CPD) issues especially reflection, lifelong learning and mentoring and the primary strategy. There is also a new chapter on collaborative practice in early years and primary teaching and, in later chapters, further discussion on professional values and working with other adults in the classroom. ..." --Back cover.
