Publisher Description

Learning to be a primary teacher can feel like trying to become a superhero!

The new edition of this book will help you harness your superpowers to become that heroic individual, looked up to by your class, able to be simultaneously fun, authoritative, inspiring, responsive to a range of needs and an expert in all subjects! Rooted in the core content framework and informed by the early career framework and new Ofsted inspection framework, it will ensure you are fully equipped to:

  • tackle planning and assessment with ease
  • champion positive behaviour
  • master curriculum sequencing
  • build composite subject knowledge and understanding
  • challenge and apply theory and research
  • maximise your emotional strength and resilience
  • stand tall as a professional
  • promote diversity, inclusion and social justice
  • and, most importantly, protect and nurture the children in your care.

"Highly recommended for all trainees, Early Career Teachers and mentors - this book is packed full of wise advice on building professional knowledge about what is required to excel at meeting the expectations of both the DfE Teachers' Standards and the Early Career Framework. Not to be missed." 
Dame Alison Peacock, CEO of the Chartered College of Teaching
