Learning and Teaching at M-Level
A Guide for Student Teachers



March 2010 | 240 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
Your teacher training or professional development course will now probably include Masters level assessment and credits as teaching 'becomes an M-level profession' and a greater emphasis is placed on helping teachers develop deeper understandings about aspects of learning and teaching through a higher level of critical reflection.

This book will guide you through the various different aspects of doing M-level work at either primary or secondary stage, and help you to develop a deeper professional understanding.

Your ability to research and understand learning environments will form a key part of making you an inquisitive and better teacher, and engagement with research underpins the book.

Chapters include primary and secondary vignettes and examples to help link theory into practice, as well as reflective questions, activities and suggestions for further reading.

This book is relevant to all trainee and qualified teachers working across the age ranges of 7-19.

This book is a useful addition for those students who have embarked upon Masters level study through continuing professional development. I can see it as being of more use when/if we move to Masters level programmes for all student teachers.

I will certainly be recommending this book to students on my course and suggesting that colleagues in other subject ares do the same. This book is a neat, purposeful and user friendly introduction to M level work -particularly suited, I think, to PGCE students.
