A Guide to Teaching Practice has long been a major standard text for all students of initial teacher training courses. It is the fullest, most comprehensive, most accessible introductory text in the field. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to take account of the many changes that have taken place both within the education system and within training courses.

Experiential learning, sometimes known as participative learning, is a process which directly acknowledges, values and uses the existing knowledge and competence of those being taught. Its use is particularly appropriate where the subject matter touches on people's deeply held beliefs and attitudes, or involves emotionally charged or value-laden material. Experiential Training: Practical Guidelines explores how to train people in areas which are particularly emotionally, and therefore intellectually, challenging.
