Description: In the United Kingdom up to the recent past - unlike other countries - very little attention has been paid to the art of pedagogy, that is, the means by which relevant skills, knowledge and attitudes can be transmitted to the classroom teacher. This book deals with these problems in a straightforward and practical manner. The core of the book deals with the various practical models of training and links them very closely with current developments, particularly the specific key requirements for the newly designed 'advanced skill' specified by the DfEE two years ago. Equally important is the exami.
