Learning To Teach Science: Activities For Student Teachers And Mentors

This book arises from the experiences of staff working over many years in training graduates for their entry into the teaching profession. It has always been axiomatic at King’s College London that teachers in schools have an essential part to play in partnership with university staff in this training. Our work in developing school-college links has shown us that our co-tutors in schools find it hard to give the time and thought that they know is needed to develop their role to the full. They are well aware that far more is involved in preparing new teachers than putting them at the front of a class andcriticizing their performance from the back.
